Dear Peters, As you may remember, some on the call opposed to this option because of the transit trough other countries that refuse to make board if you don't have the colombian visa on your passport. They experienced the same difficulty before. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Message d'origine----- De : NURSES ACROSS THE BORDERS [mailto:nursesacrosstheborders@yahoo.com] Envoyé : dimanche 5 septembre 2010 17:48 À : langdonorr@gmail.com; 'Heidi Ullrich'; Tijani BEN JEMAA Cc : afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org; 'ICANN At-Large Staff' Objet : Re: [AFRI-Discuss] Visa to Colombia Dear All. In addition, it was also suggested and proposed, that, with extant protocols, ICANN can initiate discussions with the Columbia Foreign Affairs Ministry for Visas to be granted to DULY ACCREDITED DELEGATES at the Port of Entry. Even where you have consulates in countries and the process cumbersome, waivers are granted for delegates to get their visas at the Port of Entry to save time. This is possible from our experience of previous engagements in international fora. Now is the time to start the planning.

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.
