Hi Darlene Yonkers is NYC. . Coming up Riverside Drive in Manhattan, I remember the Yonkers exit being not too far driving from the 96th st exit This was a while ago, so I may be wrong. Jacqueline Thompson, Darlene wrote:
Hi all,
My only concern about the Yonkers possibility is its unavailability to any major airport. Beau, how does one get to where you are from the nearest airport? I don’t actually know the geography there all that well (OK, not at ALL!)!

The offer to meet at Consumers Union in lovely Yonkers is most certainly still open. We've even installed Wi-Fi in the building since this was last discussed.

Hello all,
I noticed, while going through the calendar, that there is no ICANN meeting scheduled for the North American Region until Oct 17-23, 2010.
Usually ALSs are invited to have their regional in-person meets at the local ICANN meeting. It is my recollection that, if there is no meeting taking place in a region during a calendar year, policy allows that ALSs of that region are entitled to have an in-person regional meeting. I believe there is a precedent already, a meeting held February 2007 by APRALO in Bali. (I also seem to recall that a proposal last year for a EURALO meeting for Geneva was refused...)
In 2007 we met in San Juan, and I anticipate we will all be at the Summit in November this year. However, there will be no North American ICANN meeting in calendar 2009, and I would like everyone to start thinking about a good time and place to hold a regional ALS meeting in Sep/Oct of next year (which would be halfway between the Summit and the Oct 2010 meeting). Because the number of people involved is so small, it could be held anywhere. Perhaps adjacent to another conference?
Once upon a time there was a plan to meet, before signing the MOU, at Consumers Union in Yonkers NY. Beau, is that offer still open?
There' s no rush, but I just want to toss the idea out to make sure it's not forgotten, in the ICANN budget or otherwise.
Nick, what have other regions done in planning this kind of meeting? How much advance notice is needed?
- Evan
