Following on from my previous email (below) I just bumped into one of our Brussels meeting hosts and mentioned that I had booked into Le Meridien, and he commented that I had "made the right choice".

I have also heard a rumor that the ICANN staff/board have taken up all of the rooms in an undisclosed hotel and in speaking with the Brussels .EU team here, they advised that we select "any hotel near the central station". Andrew Mack suggested Le Meridien Hotel, and I just looked it up to find that it is, in fact, very close to the station, Grande Place and most importantly, Square Brussels Meeting Centre where the meeting will take place. Unless Philip has another recommendation, being that he is 'on the ground' in Brussels, I would suggest that we consider Le Meridien as the 'BC hotel' for the Brussels meeting.
