Following ICANN 42, [[ICANN]]'s Head of Communications, [[Barbara Ann Clay]], issued a formal complaint to the management of Hotel des Almadies, Senegal's Communications Minister, [[Moustapha Guirassy]], and others. In the letter, she stated that, "The extremely poor quality of the Hotel and its services, noted in detail on the basis of our delegates' feedback, has damaged ICANN's reputation, as well as the reputation of the Hotel and Senegal."<ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/sites/news.dot-nxt.com/files/clay-to-guirassy-23nov11-en.pdf Formal Complaint Letter], Dot-Nxt.com.

On November 2012, Clay wrote an apology letter to Guirassy, noting that the 20-page complaint was sent without appropriate clearance and was not an official statement from ICANN.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/6948-icann-says-sorry-for-crappy-hotel-complaint ICANN says sorry for crappy hotel complaint], DomainIncite.com.
