The merits of the decision and the process for making it notwithstanding, I would like to thank David for giving us this early heads-up without waiting for the formal announcement to be made. It is both uncommon and refreshing!

Adrian and Council Members:

The ICANN June meeting will not take place in Jordan.   A decision was made and the Jordanian host has already been contacted about this change.

In a day or so, there will be a formal ICANN announcement concerning this matter as well information on the location for the next meeting .
