Update on ICANN Meetings in Accra, Ghana - 10-14 March 2002 - Pre-Registration and Agenda

10 February 2002

As previously announced, ICANN's next round of meetings will be held 10-14 March 2002 in Accra, Ghana.

Pre-registration is now open. Please go to <http://register.icann.org/register.php> and fill in the form. This will help us to plan for the meeting and to send you updates.

Please note that the meeting venue is the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, NOT the convention center as originally planned. Details regarding accommodations are available at the local host's web site (mirrored here). Conference attendees from outside of Ghana are reminded that they will need to have evidence of being vaccinated against yellow fever and will require an appropriate visa for entry.
