Yes, true about locations, not always easy for everyone. I remember last meeting in Montreal many people had lots of issues with visas and couldn't finally arrive. Best, Laura Margolis El dom, 31 jul 2022 a las 11:13, Glenn McKnight via At-Large (< at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org>) escribió:
Interesting point made by Hank on the fact ICANN selected Malaysia. The selection process for ICANN meetings clearly needs to be assessed. This is also a country with anti-homosexual policies See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Malaysia

I think you should all be grateful that you can attend ICANN 75. To quote from: https://www.icann.org/diversity-en "To live up to this responsibility, ICANN is committed to promoting greater diversity and supporting broad, inclusive participation in its processes."
The upcoming ICANN 75 meeting takes place in Kuala Lumpur . Quoting from the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Malaysia_relations "Malaysian passports bear the inscription: "This passport is valid for all countries except Israel". Israeli passport holders are forbidden to enter Malaysia without written permission from the Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs."
One can of course claim that travel restrictions have been eased recently as per: https://visalist.io/malaysia/visa-requirements/israel which requires 9 documents and an appearance at the Malaysian embassy - closest of which is in Jordan.
How does ICANN live up to its commitment to "inclusiveness" if it selects a country that forbids the participation of Israel (or makes it close to impossible to get a visa)?

Hi Bill
Not radical, but with some imaginative clauses that sound weird to the ears of somebody that is not a lawyer and does not live in a country that is particularly inclined to solve matters in courts.
Here is an example that, if taken seriously, would oblige me to ask some questions:
/This Liability Waiver and Release is specifically binding upon my heirs and assigns and is knowingly given./
Do I need to ask my (hopefully future) heirs to also sign the waiver? And if they don’t want, or even produce an official document, signed in the hands of a notary or other official authority, that they specifically do not acknowledge the obligation of being obliged to comply with this clause - maybe saying that they formally recommended that I take this trip, what would happen? How can ICANN enforce this clause in my jurisdiction - actually, in the jurisdiction of my heirs - in front of a formal statement of them prior to the fact? And if I attach this document of my heirs to my application, what would ICANN do? Reject my registration because one of the clauses of the waiver is not enforceable?
This is one more reason for loving the ICANN community, never a dull moment and a lot of fun :-)
Cheers, Roberto

As such things go, this isn't a particularly radical waiver. A bit wordier than average, but nothing novel in substance.
