Board approves Singapore as the location for the June 2011 ICANN public meeting.

Text

Whereas, ICANN intends to hold its second Meeting for 2011 in the Asia-Pacific region as per its policy.

Whereas, the Board previously designated Amman, Jordan as the location for the June 2011 Asia-Pacific meeting.

Whereas, due to unforeseen circumstances, the ICANN Board Executive Committee determined to change the meeting location to Singapore.

Resolved (2011.03.18.10), the Board ratifies the Executive Committee's approval of Singapore as the location for the June 2011 ICANN public meeting.

Implementation Actions

• Not applicable

Rationale

As part of ICANN's public meeting schedule, three times a year ICANN hosts a meeting in a different geographic region (as defined in the ICANN Bylaws) of the world.  Meeting Number 41, scheduled for 18-24 June 2011, is to occur in the Asia-Pacific Geographic Region. While the Board previously designated Amman, Jordan as the location for the June 2011 Asia-Pacific meeting, unforeseen circumstances, lead the Executive Committee to change the meeting location to Singapore.

The Committee reviewed the recommendation for hosting the meeting in Singapore, and the determined that the proposal met the significant factors of the Meeting Selection Criteria used to guide site selection work. Outside of the call for recommendations, the process for selection of sites does not call for public consultation, as the staff assessments of the feasibility of any site is the primary consideration.

All public meetings advance ICANN's transparency and accountability objectives. There will be a financial impact on ICANN in hosting the meeting and providing travel support as necessary, as well as on the community in incurring costs to travel to the meeting. There is no impact on the security or the stability of the DNS due to the hosting of the meeting.
