This makes me mad. I am not mad at Tim, far from it. But why ICANN continually chooses places that forces key stakeholders and contributors to not be able to participate to the fullest. Crazy. Here’s an idea. Let’s build a remote site and EVERYONE go there... LA Marriott anyone?

Also to all, if there is any movement toward a US or EU remote participation base, I would be up for that and doing what I could to help cover costs. I think John was asking about this earlier. Any interests? Either way, after further consideration I think I may be attending only remotely. Tim
