Jordan meeting will be moved over security concerns.
On Tuesday I wrote about how ICANN was heading to another hot spot in June for a meeting in Jordan.
Now comes word via DomainIncite that ICANN is going to switch locations.
Kevin Murphy reports that ICANN vice president of policy development support David Olive sent an email to members of the Generic Names Supporting Organization earlier today informing them of the change to an as-yet-unnamed location.
Jordan is potentially next in line for a regime change after Tunisia and Egypt. Given the challenges ICANN has had getting people to other questionable locations of late, this was a smart move.
Hopefully ICANN can schedule another meeting in Jordan at a more stable time.
