Dear Cheryl and Heidi, During the AFRALO last call, the issue of getting an entry visa to Colombia was raised, and participants expressed their big concern about the absence of Colombian consular services or embassies in Africa except in 3 countries. Getting a visa may require months. That's why they wish to see ICANN making the necessary arrangement with the host country authorities to make it easy and as fast as possible. They also wish that ICANN proceeds as soon as possible with the travel procedures so that participants can apply shortly for the visa with all the required documents to avoid complicated situations. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations Phone : + 216 70 825 231 Mobile : + 216 98 330 114 Fax : + 216 70 825 231 ------------------------------------------------------------------
