Moroccan music festival just before the ICANN meeting in Marrakesh
Hi all. We have an excellent opportunity to be exposed to the local musical culture when attending the ICANN meeting in Marrakesh. In Essaouira - close to Marrakesh - the Gnawa Festival (see http://www.essaouira.nu/calendar_festival_gnaoua.htm) will take place from 20 to 23 June. The ICANN meeting will start officially on the 24 June - but some activities are likely to start earlier. Aziz Hilali, whom we all know, told me that it would be possible to organise day trips from Marrakesh to Essaouira to allow people to go there for the festival. The reason why we strongly recommend day trips from Marrakesh is twofold: people who want to attend only one day can do so without changing hotel and, last but not least, it will be extremely difficult to get a hotel in Essaouira during the festival. As a matter of fact, having had myself difficulties in finding accommodation in Essaouira off-season I can well believe that for these hot dates the place will be fully booked already now, three months in advance. Anyway, long story short, I have prepared a Doodle poll and ask you to fill in your preferred dates should you be willing and able to join this initiative. Based on the response, busses could be organised for the popular dates. We need to have a first idea about whether there is enough interest - if this is the case, we can go to the next step: Aziz will announce this option when presenting ICANN 65 later this week and we can start making concrete plans, including scheduling the arrival date accordingly. Of course, please feel free to forward the Doodle poll url https://doodle.com/poll/f4cq8vwnu56uzws9 to your other communities and stakeholder groups. If anybody is not comfortable to put their names in the Doodle page - where all participants to the poll can read them - please feel free to email me directly mentioning the possible dates of interest. Best regards, Roberto

Folks, As of today only few people have replied to the Doodle poll. We are approaching the moment in which a decision has to be made about renting transportation from Marrakesh to Essaouira and back, and if there is not a sufficient number of participants a bus would not be an economically viable solution. So please reply to the poll if you plan to join. Please feel free to forward this email further, for instance to other ALAC Regional mailing lists.

Hi all. We have an excellent opportunity to be exposed to the local musical culture when attending the ICANN meeting in Marrakesh. In Essaouira - close to Marrakesh - the Gnawa Festival (see http://www.essaouira.nu/calendar_festival_gnaoua.htm <http://www.essaouira.nu/calendar_festival_gnaoua.htm>) will take place from 20 to 23 June. The ICANN meeting will start officially on the 24 June - but some activities are likely to start earlier. Aziz Hilali, whom we all know, told me that it would be possible to organise day trips from Marrakesh to Essaouira to allow people to go there for the festival. The reason why we strongly recommend day trips from Marrakesh is twofold: people who want to attend only one day can do so without changing hotel and, last but not least, it will be extremely difficult to get a hotel in Essaouira during the festival. As a matter of fact, having had myself difficulties in finding accommodation in Essaouira off-season I can well believe that for these hot dates the place will be fully booked already now, three months in advance. Anyway, long story short, I have prepared a Doodle poll and ask you to fill in your preferred dates should you be willing and able to join this initiative. Based on the response, busses could be organised for the popular dates. We need to have a first idea about whether there is enough interest - if this is the case, we can go to the next step: Aziz will announce this option when presenting ICANN 65 later this week and we can start making concrete plans, including scheduling the arrival date accordingly. Of course, please feel free to forward the Doodle poll url https://doodle.com/poll/f4cq8vwnu56uzws9 <https://doodle.com/poll/f4cq8vwnu56uzws9> to your other communities and stakeholder groups. If anybody is not comfortable to put their names in the Doodle page - where all participants to the poll can read them - please feel free to email me directly mentioning the possible dates of interest.

Dear Roberto I would have loved to add an extra day or two onto my travel. but Marrakech is such a hassle to get to from my part of the world, and to get home is even worse, that I have decided to save my musical interest to the GEMS night which I hope is still happening to liven up proceedings at this jam-packed ICANN meeting...

Folks I will arrive in Marrakech. Saturday 22 June. That leaves all day Sunday for the sights. I know Roberto and his wife are headed to the music festival that is being held Essaouira before the meeting. I had originally hoped to go as well, but the 22nd is the last day of the music festival and Aziz suggested it probably wouldn’t be the best use of my time to go for a day only. Instead, Aziz gave me the name of a person who manages tours, including a day tour into the Atlas Mountains, add Berber villages, waterfalls, etc. Should be great. And there is room for one more - we could probably negotiate more is anyone else is interested. So anyone interested - let me know and we can arrange for a day into the mountains etc for Sunday. Thanks Holly
Thank you Holly For those of you who will be taking a few days before or after the meeting, here is some useful information : The hotels on Boulevard Mohamed IV are generally verygood. They are the most convenient for visiting the city. They are next to theshops and not far from the Medina. Taxis are not expensive. If drivers refuse to puttheir meter, refuse and wait for another taxi (it happens all the time).Otherwise negotiate the price before going up. An average run from Ave MohamedVI to the Medina must not exceed MAD 30 (Moroccan Currency) with a legalsurcharge of 50% per night. Those who want to take a Hotel near the meeting site,there are two or three: Hotel Ennakhil or Wazo Hotel (cheaper) or Ibis.If you have specific questions, do not hesitate to write me individually or on the group.
