[At-Large] ICANN meeting timings

[Kieren McCarthy]

There's been a lot of discussion about the timing of ICANN meetings.

There's nothing that can be done about Delhi or Paris or the Africa meeting
this year, but I think it is worth pointing out that the meeting dates are
given out two years in advance.

As such, if people could apply the same degree of focus to the future dates
as they have on the meeting in four weeks' time it could potentially save a
lot of trouble.

All the dates can be found on the ICANN meeting page:

http://www.icann.org/meetings/

But here they are. If people see major problems or conflicts do flag them as
soon as possible.

Not all have, but not having big meeting dates and rough locations
(country / general area) about a year in advance is generally a
really bad idea, and to be avoided.  Yes, people fill up their
travel calendars many months in advance, and no, ICANN isn't the
only contender.

Indeed.
