Hotel booking for our London meeting
NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Good Morning All from Foggy London, I've lost the plot a little, about who is staying, and for how long in January - but I do have a contract on my desk which secures a number of rooms for our original dates and names at a very good rate (£219 per night bed and breakfast, exclusive of VAT). The numbers I have are: 18th January - 14 rooms booked - 13 names so far - Emily/Kathy/Kim/Omar/Sarmad/Susan/Lynn/Michael/James/Bill/Liz/Denise/Sharon 19th January - 19- rooms booked - 18 names so far -Emily/Kathy/Kim/Lutz/Olivier/Omar/Sarmad/Susan/Wilfried/Lynn/Michael/James/Bill/Liz/Denise/Olof/Alice/Sharon Now that we are likely to have two whole days, it may be that we need some rooms on the night of 20th too?. We have just phoned to see if we can secure additional rooms, and been advised that there are no more available. I believe they mean that there are no more available at this rate, as I tried to book online and there is availability. I have until Wednesday to sign the contract, at which stage I will have to pay 10% of the costs on my corporate credit card (about £780) - and now we are so close to the event, the full amount if any cancellations or changes at all. The online price for room only is about £300 per night - so to book by any other method will be much more expensive - but whatever happens now, it is going to be a mish mash of bookings and costs - unless I do not sign the contract and hand the entire booking over to ICANN. The other thing we could do is try another hotel in central London and travel to Docklands each day, or try to find a central London Venue at a hotel - that may work out more cost effective.

Me too. Since I've lost some discussions about the budget, I assume ICANN will pay our expenses for 18th and 19th, incluing air tickets, hotel and meals. I'm intending to stay a bunch of days more by my own to visit at least Paris and Amsterdam :) Best regards, Omar 2010/12/13 Yakushev Mikhail <Yakushev@dstadvisors.ru>
Sharon,
To avoid any possible issues, I’d rather prefer to come to London as early as possible and thus I will need hotel for all three nights.

I don't rate it as feasiable to travel in the morning and be in useful state for the meeting, even assuming that I can arrive in time at all, from Vienna, in January. In case ICANN refuses to cover the expenses for the 1st night - which I do not expect - I have to re-consider my participation.
