Re: [council] [Soac-infoalert] ICANN57 Hyderabad: What You Need to Know (Part 2) - ICANN


Hi,

Nothing different about the visa requirements from my perspective. I have to 
deal with this nonsense every time I travel.

The difference this time around may be that Constituency Travel will have a lot 
more work than normal, meaning their own resources will be spread thin. I 
believe a similar situation with the ATLAS event resulted in me missing the 
ICANN meeting in London a couple of years ago.

Anyway…, good luck to all.

Thanks.

Amr
