If it is not cancelled, I would take the risk and go. I have a choice. I 
don't work for ICANN.

But a meeting requires staff. And I have been thinking about the staff 
-- what choices have they been offered. What rights do they have to 
refuse should they not want to take the risk. Perhaps this would be a 
good question for Goran on Tuesday.
