Dear all, I have now heard back from ICANN's meetings team regarding the hotel cancellation policies for the main meeting hotels in Cartagena: -- Hotel cancellation policy for Hotel Santa Clara, Hotel Santa Teresa, Hotel Caplilla Del Mar, Hotel Caribe, Hotel Cartagena de Indias, Hotel Las Americas a. The dead line date for reservations without any penalty is October 15, 2010 b. Cancellations: Reservations canceled after October 15 will have a penalty equal to the value of the first night accommodation c. No show: The value of the first night will be charged to your credit card provided as a guarantee d. Early departure: In case of an early departure, you will be charged with a penalty equal to the value of one night -- I hope this clarifies. This information will also be posted on the ICANN website. Kind regards, Gabi
