You said: "...but surely it would be even better to pick a more reasonably priced hotel?" Maybe. If it also has conference facilities, or sits next door to such (more or less). That's not likely to be easy to find. Ole Ole J. Jacobsen Editor and Publisher, The Internet Protocol Journal Cisc

I think this largely depends on what is defined as an "end-user". The reason the ALAC is failure is that there is a complete mismatch between the stuff ICANN does and what these "end users" THINK ICANN does or should be doing. The ALAC members are largely made up of "civil society" or "politi

Keep in mind that the locations are subject to change until a host has been identified and the hotel contract signed. This means that you could well see one of the OTHER meetings in 2009 take place in Europe. "TBD" and "Provisional" really does mean what it says. Ole Ole J. Jacobsen Editor and

Umm, maybe someone needs to explain to you the existence of the "bad-attitude" jabber room. Some of us are silently wondering if this may be the one plenary where "Bar BOF" takes on a new meaning. Perhaps we could have the proceedings projected on a giant sports-bar-like screen and "jabber" away

On the other hand: If we simply closed our laptops for the duration of the plenary and LISTENED to the speakers, perhaps even taking notes on paper (I know, a radical idea), would this really be such a terrible thing? I've attended meetings where we had a "closed laptop" policy during presentat

I can confirm that the confirmation letter from the hotel does not reflect the terms stated by Ray, but this is presumably just a limitation of their automated system. For example, the letter says: "These rates are not available for groups or conferences," which is exactly the opposite of what's

At first glance, the power plug used in Korea looks just like the one used in most of Western Europe, known as the "Euro-plug". But the Korean plug is actually subtly different. The pins are 4.8 mm in diameter vs 4.0 mm for the Euro plug. Does it matter, and should you care if you are going to th

See my previous post on this topic. Quick answer: Euro-style round-pin plugs Long answer: The official Korean plug is 4.8 mm in diameter whereas the Euro-plug is 4.0 mm. This means you *could* encounter some "loose connections" unless you use the European *grounded* plug which *is* 4.8 mm also. A
