Thanks for the info, Glen. Is the Meridien the only hotel where ICANN is negotiating rates for this meeting? The special ICANN rate for the Meridien is $320 a night, which is very expensive for many participants, so it would be great if there could be less expensive hotel options also. Thank you, Robin On Mar 4, 2008, at 9:45 AM, GNSO.SECRETARIAT@GNSO.ICANN.ORG wrote:
