[NCSG-PC] Fwd: ICANN65 | Marrakech- Supported Travelers/Contractor Travelers Database Due // Friday, 22 February 2019

Wed Feb 6 23:31:25 EET 2019

It will be interesting to measure how many new plan tickets they will need to purchase (because ICANN purchases non-refundable ones) because of the this timeline, as there is likely to be an increase in traveler name changes because circumstances have changed...

There is a high chance I’ll be able to if I get a visa. however I will have to assess the security situation in the region closer to the time and decide accordingly.

>>> as you can see, we need to get the names for Marrakech travel in 30 days earlier now than in the best, namely by Feb 22.  Please councillors, let me know if you will not be planning to attend ICANN65, so that we can select a substitute.  As for the NCSG EC, please let me know if you wish to attend ICANN 65 and are not otherwise funded.
