ICANN will provide approved travel dates for ICANN meetings. Funded travelers can extend their stay before or after their approved travel dates at their own expense. Once the funded traveler receives their hotel confirmation with hotel contact information, the funded traveler may request additional days by contacting the hotel directly. Please note that the additional days beyond the approved travel dates are subject to hotel availability and the additional costs will be the responsibility of the funded traveler. Additional hotel requests, such as double occupancy, amenities, etc. can be made directly with the hotel after receiving the hotel confirmation email from ICANN.

ICANN will request early check in for travelers arriving between midnight and 7am (local time) during the approved travel dates. Travelers arriving after 7am (local time) may request an early check in directly with the hotel. Late check outs also can be arranged directly with the hotel at the expense of the traveler. Kindly note that early/late check in/out requests are subject to hotel availability and are not guaranteed. 

Hotel contact information is made available in the travelers’ hotel confirmation email.
