Dear Suhaidi and all, As others have mentioned in this thread, this was expected, and there was little anyone could do differently. Nevertheless, it's a loss for our region, and would have been particularly bad for Suhaidi and his team in KL. I appreciate all the work done by Suhaidi & team, and sincerely hope that sometime in the future, after COVID-19 is just a distant, bad memory, we will go back to KL. Stay safe, With kind regards, satish On Fri, Apr 10, 2020 at 7:35 AM Laxmi Yadav <laxmiyadav@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear Maureen and all,
On behalf of the ICANN68 host committee, I respect and understand this decision, although (and, honestly) it's a difficult one for us to accept.
We understand the decision was ultimately made that prioritises the health and safety of our ICANN community, the international guests travelling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and, most importantly, mitigates the risk of spreading the Covid-19.
Our sympathies at this time are with those affected by Covid-19 all around the world.
We hope ICANN would consider Kuala Lumpur again as host of ICANN meeting in the future.
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Suhaidi Hassan ISOC Malaysia Chapter
