Meeting preparation and materials
Meeting structure and substance
- ICC has consistently supported holding at least one if not more of the ICANN meetings in hub cities to facilitate participation and remain sensitive to the time, human and financial resources of all members of the community.
- We recommend that meeting costs can be minimized by using certain regionally diverse hubs on a regular basis which would also make travel faster and more affordable. For example, ICANN could alternate between a meeting in hub cities, and the other meeting(s) could continue to rotate throughout the world.
- Many members cannot participate in more than one ICANN meeting per year given their workloads and resource constraints, and we support mechanisms to involve stakeholders outside the regular three meetings per year.
