Dear Councillors, For all those who requested, a reservation has been made for you at the Corinithia Lisboa Hotel http://www.icann-lisboa.pt/en/homepage/index.html Address: Av. Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro, nº 105, 1099-031 Lisboa - Portugal Phone: +351 21 723 63 63 Fax: +351 21 723 63 64 The hotel is a short (20-30 min.) taxi ride from the airport - it should cost less than 10 Euros. There are currency exchanges and ATMs available at the airport. There is no ATM in the hotel but there is one a short walk up the street. Breakfast is included in the cost of your room and is served on the lobby level in the breakfast room. All meeting rooms are located on Level 1 - the GNSO Working room is 'Floriana 3' located on Level one. (It will also be used for the Registry constituency meetings on Tuesday, constituency day). For the weather see: http://www.strawberryworld-lisbon.com/lisbon/weather.html Currently a little cool and breezy. Our local hosts are trying to arrange with the hotel for the Internet connections in the room to be free but I do not yet know if this will happen. If you purchase Internet time, you pay for only the time you are logged on - for instance, if you purchase 24 hours of time, it is not one day - unless of course, you do nothing but stay logged on to the Internet! Electricity 220V 50Hz, electric Plug type Europlug **** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - EUROPE STARTS DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME AT 2:00 AM SUNDAY MARCH 25 - YOU WILL LOSE AN HOUR OF SLEEP THAT NIGHT. Also the hotel rooms do not have clocks in them - they do have the automated phone wake up system - if you need a clock, bring one with you. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Kind regards. Glen -- Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat - ICANN gnso.secretariat[at]gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org
