Accommodation period in Cape Town
I am in correspondence with T and T regarding booking flights to Cape
Town. They suggested that arrival on the 16th was standard, but the
original email from the WMF said: "Shared accommodation at a hotel
selected by the Wikimedia Foundation for up to 7 nights e.g., arriving
July 17 and departing July 23, which includes breakfast and internet
connectivity", which is contradictory (arriving July 17 and departing
July 23 is six nights).

Can anyone clarify on which nights we have accommodation, please?

Re: Accommodation period in Cape Town [ In reply to ]
Hi Andy,

Yes, I can clear this up for you (and any other recipients wondering about
this). The first approved date of arrival at the hotel is *July 16*.
Accommodations in shared rooms will be provided starting that evening, with
checkout on *July 23rd*. Those are the dates our travel agents are working
off of. We altered the arrival date to July 16 in ordered to give people
time to adjust from jet-lag before the start of the pre-conference on July
18.

Thanks, and hope this answers your question,
