Edmon, can you give us an idea of who is already expected to be at
the meeting since they are also connected to the registrar event?

When we spoke in San Juan, Izumi I believe you said you thought some
sponsorship from .JP would be possible, and was it Hong who said she
thought the same might be possible from .CN? Sorry if my memory's a
bit fuzzy; it was a long week!

Clearly we would need to get Raj over as the Chair of the region,
Edmon will already be there, Izumi can come by miles, Hong, can you
come with your ALS?

I will put Amex on those hotels and see what kind of cheap rate we
can get for hotels.

Raj, get me your routing and I'll get amex working on a ticket for you.
