May I suggest we do a remote participation for the BC in San Francisco area? We can invite Silicon Valley firms, etc. I'm just sick about how much a Singapore conference will cost members - especially after the numerous gTLD delays which have cost numerous people in the ICANN community significant time and resources. Just a thought.

Subject: [bc-gnso] Announcement: Change in June meeting location: Middle East
Developments Cause Cancellation of ICANN Jordan Meeting
Dear BC Members: http://blog.icann.org/2011/02/middle-east-developments-interfere-with-icann-41-jordan-meeting/
ICANN announced that the June meeting will not take place in Jordan. A formal announcement of location
will be made soon. I am aware that at least two BC members have already purchased tickets to Jordan. That is
regrettable, and I do hope that they are refundable tickets.
Please stay tuned for the formal announcement of the new location of the June meeting.
I realize that travel to Asia is challenging as well to many BC members, due to cost and time to travel.
I am told that it is likely that the meeting will be in Asia.
