The ICANN hotel block does have a good rate for the Westin -- $269 plus tax. . 

I have booked at the venue, but I do recognize that there will be a need for a couple of other 

options for lower prices. If someone is familiar with S.F. and can suggest a nearby neighborhood

to the list, it could be that members would want to identify a couple of hotels, and share that information to meetings@bizconst.org.

that will just hit the parties most likely to be interested. If others decide they are interested, we will then repost any conclusionary information.
