ICANN Meeting Will Proceed Despite Fires

October 25, 2007

Next week's meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in Los Angeles will go on as planned, despite the massive wildfires in southern California, officials said this week on the conference Web site.

"These fires are on the outskirts of the city and are distant from the meeting venue. There is no likelihood of an impact," organizers wrote after being contacted by a number of meeting attendees. "We understand the challenges, personal stress, and loss these fires are causing in the region, and our thoughts are with our neighbors."

ICANN's 30th international meeting will take place at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport and I'll be there filing reports for Technology Daily's PM Edition and Tech Daily Dose. Stay tuned...
