We have been advised that some of the hotels have been experiencing technical difficulties with their online reservation systems. They have requested that you please reconfirm your hotel reservation to ensure that it was received.

The second round of ICANN meetings in 2004 will be held 19-23 July in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The meetings are free to attend, and open to any interested person. ICANN encourages broad participation in its bottom-up consensus-development process. You can take part in these meetings by attending in person, by taking part in the webcast and remote participation opportunities, and/or by joining one of the various ICANN-related mailing lists.

The meetings will be hosted by Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which are providing a local website that will give information regarding the area, the meeting, and local hotels. The meetings will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

Immediately following the ICANN meeting there will be a Joint ICANN/ITU-T ccTLD Workshop, at the Equatorial Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Further information concerning the workshop.
