In order to discuss things further and provide constructive feedback for ICANN, I invite you to join me in this effort. If you would like to join, email me separately off the list. We will start by : drafting the preliminary objective of the working party, milestones and methods to achieve our goal which is : remove the visa obstacles for attending ICANN meetings. I think we should gather all sort of experiences and challenges with obtaining visa: having to travel to another city, another country, the high cost that has to be born by ICANN, the high emotional cost that has to be born by the applicants and ICANN staff that deal with travel arrangements and other things. Which visa processes have been the easiest, which have been the hardest and what were the potential reasons. We are looking for solutions.
