 Good afternoon to all! 


 We are back in Toronto, when I can and I reorganize the office 
 I send my report of the meetings. 


 Meanwhile, I want to draw attention to the proposed 
 modification of the Proposal on the consolidation strategy 
 ICANN Meetings (* strategy meetings for public locations).

 * Summary * 


 * PURPOSE: * It is essential that the headquarters of the meeting have 
 excellent facilities that encourage interaction. The purpose is 
 ensure the use of sites that offer the best facilities for 
 conferences. 
 * 
 BACKGROUND: * Since 1999, ICANN identifies and selects sites 
 meetings through a process of proposals by 
 hosts.In 2007, the 
 ICANN implemented a new policy, whereby most of the 
 planning and implementation was under his charge, but keeping the 
 support of local host on 
 government involvement, the Internet bandwidth, the event 
 gala, security and other aspects of the meeting. 


 * DIFFICULTY: * A half that ICANN meetings were taking greater 
 alance and call, were markedly reduced the number of facilities 
 capable of carrying out an ICANN meeting. Furthermore, the 
 number of facilities that effectively meet all criteria 
 selection of venues for meetings is extremely limited. It is 
 becoming increasingly difficult to find new hosts and cities 
 appropriate facilities for the meeting venues. 
 * 
 PROPOSAL: * ICANN identify the best facilities worldwide 
 to take after the ICANN Meeting. Generally, these 
 facilities convention centers are often complemented by 
 hotels nearby.Proposed consolidation of meetings for 2014, 2015 
 and 2016: 


 • Make the first meeting * year * in two cities in the region * 
 Asia-Pacific. * 
 • Perform * meeting * second year in two cities in Europe *. * 
 * Perform * third meeting of the year on a rotating basis in the following 
 regions: 
 North America (2014), 
 Africa (2015) and 
 * Latin America / Caribbean (2016). * 




 This proposal * can * have an impact on regional diversity. The 
 issues to consider are: 
 • * The equitable regional rotation, is it important or not? 
 • Is it enough to rotate in a &quot;not equal&quot;? 
 • What can be done to mitigate any negative impacts? * 




 As you can see, a * LAC will only touch a meeting every three years *!As 
 affects the participation and access of stakeholders in ICANN, not 
 be moved (either by themselves or by their caseworkers) to 
 regions more distant from our own, either because of cost, access, 
 distance, etc. 


 It is important that we express our opinion as a region, as we 
 directly affected by this proposal. 


 I welcome your comments, 


 Natalia Enciso.
