Greetings, Currently, the price per person for catered lunch at the hotel in San Francisco is US$85 and on that basis we cannot possibly expect anyone to sponsor lunch for us. It is an outrageous amount of money even if we had multiple sponsors for each lunch so that the cost was covered. ICANN meetings staff have been working very hard to negotiate a lower price but up until now have had no success. So we have decided to steer those that were considering sponsoring lunch into contributing sponsorship to our ccNSO dinner. We will try to provide you all with a list of close by places to buy different sorts of lunches. If there is any change, I'll let you know.
