Re: IETF 94 - Registration and Hotel Information

[Tobias Gondrom <tobias.gondrom@gondrom.org>]

Hello all,

apologies for the inconvenience.
Our IAD and the IAOC are looking into this.
We will do our best to understand and improve the situation.
It may take a day or so to get answers back from the hotel and see what we can do.
We will keep you posted.

Best regards,

Tobias
(IAOC chair)

It also shows as ³sold out² thru my company booking system, difficult to
imagine it had been sold out just a few hours after the announcementŠ

Cheers,

Is the hotel already sold out or is the broken hotel website to blame? It
keeps redirecting me to the mobile site.
