Zahid,

Sorry to hear this and frankly this should not happen. Stephane, can we reach 
out to Heather to see if there is something she may be able to do?

Commission


Dear Councillors,

I applied today at the Canadian High Commission at London for my visa for the 
ICANN meeting with invitation letter etc.  Without even asking any questions it 
was flatly refused.  

Apparently, the High Commission wouldn't even speak to the ICANN staff.  

Guess I may not be seeing you all in Toronto.  

May be an idea to ensure Government support before accepting requests to host 
ICANN meetings next time.  For all the grievances at least the Senaglese gave 
everyone visas on arrival.  



Sincerely,
