From what I understand it is “not able”. Insurance and travel restrictions to the region don’t allow it.
Of course, there are many that would “not prefer to” given the above.

Hi Adrian
Do you mean "to not be able" or "to not prefer"?
Just wondering how high the special barrier some folks face is…

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.
Here’s an idea. Let’s build a remote site and EVERYONE go there...
Glen,
Can you provide an update of on the expected availability of remote
participation for Senegal?
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.
