Dear Doug,
thank you (or rather not) for the security information posted at
http://nbo.icann.org/meetings/security-information-11feb10-en.htm
http://nbo.icann.org/meetings/security-information-12feb10-en.htm
and emailed.
Now I have my own opinion about the choice of Nairobi as the venue of
the African ICANN meeting, but this is very much influenced by the
fact that we submitted a bid to have this very meeting in Windhoek.
But, I am really getting upset about the lack of professionalism with
which this is (mis)handled. But I feel it my duty to inject some sense
of reality into the topic and support my African brothers, and not
just because out of solidarity.
Uncorroborated, untested, unevaluated and uninterpreted rumors like
the one giving raise to this thread should not be published until they
have been corroborated, tested, evaluated and interpreted unless there
is a credible threat requiring urgent changes in plans (which is
clearly not the case here).
This can be done in almost all cases within 24 hours as has been done
in this case.
I have taken the trouble to look up the travel pages for Kenya of the
Department of State, the French and German Foreign Ministries and the
Foreign Office. Neither one has listed any recent changes in their
travel advisories.
Not even the State Department has listed this particular issue on
their web site, which tells me something how credible they think it
is.
In other words since the decision to hold the meeting there was taken
nothing really has changed. Which has been the point I have made on the
conference call already.
I strongly urge to continue concentrating on your laudable efforts to
make a success out of the situation we are finding ourselves in.
greetings, el
