With respect, the thought of spending 4-6 days, 8-12 hours per day, in virtual meeting rooms is quite disagreeable to this Council member. Three hour CCWG calls are already close to the limit.
There's no real substitute for face-to-face interaction, IMHO.

Maybe it’s time for ICANN to experiment with a full virtual meeting, connecting hubs around the world.
The costs associated with having to change locations on a reasonably frequent basis are, I’m sure, not trivial. Not to mention an enormous strain on the Nick and his team.

**
ICANN56, scheduled to be held in Panama in June 2016, will be moved to another location due to the severity of the Zika Virus outbreak in the Latin America region. A search is currently underway to identify an alternate location where the Zika Virus is not a concern. We look forward to returning to Panama for a future ICANN Meeting.
