Hi, I just got in town. Is there a shuttle going from the hotel (mariott) to the meeting venue (hilton) ?? aloha, Randy Glass A@L On 6/21/07, Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> wrote:
Hi,
As an ICANN-meeting virgin I have some questions:
1) What's the dress convention? That is, I expect that many meetings will be informal (given the temps in June I expect they will NEED to be casual), but how much -- if any -- of the conference is typically suit-and-tie formal?
2) Have Jacob or Nick planned any kind of orientation for newcomers? Tossing us unprepared into a den of bureaucracy and power struggles does not serve our constituencies -- or the RALO process. Some informal sessions on "ICANN Culture" would be extremely helpful, as I imagine that only a shred of the nuances and realities can be expressed well in (publicly archived :-) ) email. This would be a great opportunity for the veterans of this list to help us newcomers understand why they're so damned cynical. :-) As it is we'll be missing the generic "orientation round table" because that conflicts with the all-day NARALO meeting on the 24th.
Please can we have this? If room availability is a problem, let's take it to a restaurant or something. This element of the meeting is as important to me as many of the other parts. However, if I'm the only one interested in this, never mind...
3) In the full schedule at http://sanjuan2007.icann.org/schedule/ I note that some meetings are explicitly listed as closed, yet some are explicitly listed as open. To what part of this schedule do we common ALS folk have access?
