Kenic have been very helpful on the shuttle logistics and since I am forwarding them the names of confirmed, I'll make sure that they have the most updated list at their help desks and they should then arrange for a shuttle.

The mobile phone number I will be using is +254-772-739100. (GSM and I guess one can buy a SIM card at the venue costs~$1) Guests, just let me know if you get stranded between meetings and the Museum?

I echo everyone's gratitude and appreciation - Alex, this will not just be a unique opportunity for those of us fortunate enough to be able to visit Nairobi to see the famous National Museum, but also a wonderful way for non-commercial actors within the Internet space to get to know one another and to meet new friends, particularly from the African region. Thank you so much for organizing it!
 
As for shuttles, some of us will be at the main conference center until at least 5.30 p.m. (e.g. Robin and I will be on the Trademarks panel till that time). Depending on the time of the shuttles, there may also be a need for at least one from the Sarova Stanley (where the NCSG Councillors are being housed).
 
Cheers
