Jon,
Please share with the registrars the
following synopsis prepared for folks traveling to the ICANN meeting in LA who
may be concerned about the fire situation.
There are currently 15 different fires
burning in
- the closest one to the office is in
road. The other fires are all outlying to
more than 30 miles from the meeting venue. The worst of the fires in
terms
of human impact are in
normal if you are outside and it is very hot. The "good" news
is that they
are predicting less wind and more humidity over the next several days - by
the end of the week our weather is predicted to return to normal and if that
happens, the firefighters will have a better chance of getting the fires
contained. In the meantime, the staff who live in the areas most affected
are monitoring the situation and we hope that we won't have any further
evacuations. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who the fires
have
affected. Here in the office we have had incredible red sunsets.
