>> address the meeting location strategy.

>> The successful operation of ICANN's public meetings in all of the
>> geographic regions is an important part of ICANN's accountability

>> develop a meetings strategy that will align with community needs,
>> while taking into account the fiscal and facility requirements for
>> these meetings.
