<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The Belgian capital of
Brussels has been chosen to host ICANN’s 38th international public meeting in
June 2010.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">A number of excellent bids
were received for the meeting, which is to be held in Europe following ICANN’s
practice of geographically rotating meeting locations, but ultimately the bid
put forward by the European Registry of Internet Domain Names (EURid), which
runs the dot-eu registry, was chosen by the Board.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The full dates of the meeting
will be Sunday 20 June to Friday 25 June 2010.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">“ICANN looks forward to its
first international public meeting in Belgium,” said Nick Tomasso, General
Manager of Meetings for ICANN. “The organization has had an office in the city
for a number of years so we’re delighted to be able to build on the contacts we
have made during that time to ensure a successful and productive meeting.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">ICANN next meeting will be
held in Seoul, Korea between 25-30 October, and then Nairobi, Kenya on 7-12
March 2010, before moving to Brussels.</span></p>
