The ICANN board voted in a special meeting held today to keep the 37th ICANN meeting in Nairobi, Kenya from March 7-12, 2010. After some security concerns the board had considered canceling the meeting, but will now work together with the local governments in order to provide for the security of the attendees. An editorial by a local writer had criticized ICANN for asking the local government to pay for additional security measures.
