I think we should all just meet at Phil's house: Best, Paul From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Phil Corwin Sent: Friday, February 05, 2016 5:45 PM To: Austin, Donna; James M. Bladel; GNSO Council List Subject: [council] RE: [Soac-infoalert] ICANN56 to be Relocated 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. Philip S.

Bladel; GNSO Council List Subject: [council] RE: [Soac-infoalert] ICANN56 to be Relocated 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.

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. David A.
