There are broader issues here that make Kenya a very weak partner to ICANN. A board meeting is being planned to discuss security in Kenya and the input of local organisers is not central to that meeting.
I would suggest that your are assuming facts not in evidence.
This is an unfair set up that is likely to work against the meeting being held in Nairobi. This naming and numbering institution needs to be democratised so that all players have equal power. Then no one will be threatening to cancel a meeting
Who is threatening to cancel a meeting?
What we have here is a situation where the blogoshpere and Twitter comments have prompted people to panic a bit and assume the worst. Like Njeri, I have sent a follow up mail to some Board members letting them know of the deportation so that they have additional information for todays Board meeting.
I would be very surprised (and disappointed) if ICANN moves the meeting away from here. Let's not rush to judgement.
