	Count me in Roberto. Last time I rented a car in Marrakesh and it was
cheap and the roads pretty good!

	Hi all.   

	We have an excellent opportunity to be exposed to the local musical
culture when attending the ICANN meeting in Marrakesh.   

	In Essaouira - close to Marrakesh - the Gnawa Festival
(see http://www.essaouira.nu/calendar_festival_gnaoua.htm [7]) will
take place from 20 to 23 June. The ICANN meeting will start officially
on the 24 June - but some activities are likely to start earlier.   

	Aziz Hilali, whom we all know, told me that it would be possible to
organise day trips from Marrakesh to Essaouira to allow people to go
there for the festival. The reason why we strongly recommend day trips
from Marrakesh is twofold: people who want to attend only one day can
do so without changing hotel and, last but not least, it will be
extremely difficult to get a hotel in Essaouira during the festival.
As a matter of fact, having had myself difficulties in finding
accommodation in Essaouira off-season I can well believe that for
these hot dates the place will be fully booked already now, three
months in advance.   

	Anyway, long story short, I have prepared a Doodle poll and ask you
to fill in your preferred dates should you be willing and able to join
this initiative. Based on the response, busses could be organised for
the popular dates. We need to have a first idea about whether there is
enough interest - if this is the case, we can go to the next step:
Aziz will announce this option when presenting ICANN 65 later this
week and we can start making concrete plans, including scheduling the
arrival date accordingly.   

	Of course, please feel free to forward the Doodle poll
url https://doodle.com/poll/f4cq8vwnu56uzws9 [8] to your other
communities and stakeholder groups. If anybody is not comfortable to
put their names in the Doodle page - where all participants to the
poll can read them - please feel free to email me directly mentioning
the possible dates of interest.   

	Best regards,   

	Roberto
