Morocco Meeting to Take Place in Early 2016</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><b><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Times"><br></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">Community
concerns that would prevent maximum participation at its next global meeting
(ICANN 52, 8-12 February 2015), a critical one given the ongoing discussions
around the IANA Stewardship Transition and ICANN Accountability, has prompted
ICANN to postpone the meeting in Marrakech, Morocco and to relocate to
Singapore on the same dates.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">The
ICANN Board voted to make this decision following Board discussions and after
extensive review of logistical considerations, available options and the
Community's request for three meetings in 2015 as well as the need to hold a
successful meeting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">ICANN
has been engaged in discussions with Moroccan government authorities and
hosting officials and the leaders of ICANN's Supporting Organizations (SO) and
Advisory Committees (AC).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">ICANN
52 will now be held at the Raffles City Convention Center in Singapore, the
site of ICANN 41 (June 2011) and ICANN 49 (March 2014).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">A
Meeting website with the new information will be set up shortly. Funded
travelers will be contacted by travel support to book for ICANN52 following the
regular process.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">The
Board has confirmed its intent to hold the first ICANN 2016 meeting in
Marrakech, Morocco taking into account the vital role of the African region to
the success of ICANN's globalization efforts.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">Cheers!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times">Bob.<br></span></p>
