I still think Nairobi is probably safer than Mexico City :) @ John Berryhill – glad the summit isn’t causing the problems ICANN thought it might.

The "security issue" is waaaay overblown by those who simply didn't want the meeting held in Kenya. The conference center is huge and in a secure block with Kenyan military around the perimeter. We all enjoyed the national anthems and pomp from several balconies as the leaders arrived this morning. I've been wandering about town on my own, and it is full of friendly folks and retired western tourists embarking or arriving from their safaris. It's safer than Philadelphia.

Looking forward to hearing more when you return. John – glad to hear it won’t cause much of a problem. Looking forward to hearing more when you return.

So, you feel secure. ?? I don't know the customs of Kenya but I'm sure you can't do and take a picture of it like you did in Australia (in front of the sign). If you do, be careful of the wind direction. The big question is - What type of costume will John wear to the receptions? John, that is great to hear.

I don't see why the other meeting should cause a problem. It's tough to describe how extensive a complex it is. Meanhile, near the remote participation site in Northern Virgina, a gunman opened fire at the Pentagon. Hmmm... I'm heading out for another stroll around Nairobi, and a trip to the park.

They have extra security already on those days. I guess they upsold them the venue by letting them have it the same time as the intergovernment one. They have extra security already on those days.

It reassured ICANN of security, put additional protections in place, etc. Or so we were made to believe. If that's the case, how did this come up right now?
