Dear all, In Finland and Sweden, Midsummer is a major holiday. I'm puzzled why it does not make the ICANN list, not as a "major holiday" and not even as "other holidays", even though the latter contains many purely national holidays. In 2014, Midsummer celebrations in Finland and Sweden fall on June 20.-22. and in 2015, on June 19.-21. Midsummer is celebrated in other Northern countries too, although the dates may slightly vary. In the case of Finland and Sweden, it is always geared to Friday-Sunday. In some other countries, it is a fixed date. Best,Yrjö

Dear Heidi and all,
thanks for forwarding the proposed ICANN meeting dates 2014 2016. As far as I could verify them (years 2012-13 only - the others couldn't be found under the link provided!), - the dates for meeting No. 44, 24-29 June 2012, are OK from my POV, - the dates for meeting No. 47, 14-19 July 2013, are rather late and may conflict with general holiday planning in several European countries.
Best, Wolf

Dear EURALO Members,
On behalf of the ALAC we ask you to please review the proposed ICANN meeting dates 2014 2016 to ensure that they do not collide with important regional holidays and celebrations. You can find the PDF document with the proposed calendar dates at: http://meetings.icann.org/calendar/dates-14-16-en.pdf.
The proposed dates have been selected based on a careful review of important holidays and community events around the globe.
Please send your comments on the proposed meeting dates to this mailing list by Sunday, 6 March. The ALAC will compile the regional input into a Statement which will be sent to the corresponding public consultation process before the 8 March deadline.
