        The only official Canadian conflict (as already noted) is
        ICANN71 where it ends on July 1st. July 1st is Canada Day, a
        major national holiday and the start (in 2021) of a long summer
        weekend. One way to solve that would be for ICANN to once again
        meet in Canada. It met once in Toronto so Vancouver looks
        tempting....and they would dearly love to host ICANN. And then
        there are Montreal, Halifax, Calgary etc. <br>
        <br>
        ICANN71 there would solve the conflict with Canada Day and leave
        delegates to enjoy the ceremonies of the Canada Day long weekend
        in the True North, Strong and Free.<br>
