ICANN 52 to be Held in Singapore, Not Morocco

“Community concerns” within ICANN prompted its board to change the location of ICANN 52 to Singapore, said an ICANN news release Monday. The meeting was originally scheduled to be in Marrakech, Morocco, Feb. 8-12, it said. Some in the ICANN community felt the Marrakech location would "prevent maximum participation" in the meeting, it said. The date wasn't changed. The board said it expects to hold its first ICANN meeting of 2016 in Marrakech.
