All,
You
will have seen the various announcements about security issues that have arisen
regarding the Nairobi meeting. The latest is at http://nbo.icann.org/meetings/security-information-12feb10-en.htm.
I
thought that you might be interested to note that Australia’s Department
of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) has sought advice from the Australian Threat
Assessment Centre (ATAC) on the advisory the US Department of State provided
and has indicated that ATAC has assessed the threat as non-credible, and
therefore has decided to not upgrade its travel advisory for Nairobi.
When
I am asked (as I have been several times) what the ccNSO’s view is on
continuing with the Nairobi meeting I have said that we remain committed to having
the meeting and supporting our African colleagues. This is still my view but it
would help me enormously if council members would confirm that this is their view
as well or let me know if you feel differently.
Cheers,
Chris
