I would suggest that your are assuming facts not in evidence.

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.
