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 ------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.

Dear Tijani, Thank you for your note reiterating AFRALO's concerns the timely acquisition of visas for Colombia so that representatives can participate in ICANN's 39th Meeting in Cartagena de Indias. I did pass these concerns on to a member of ICANN's Constituency Travel team immediately following the AFRLAO call. I have cc'd Constituency Travel to this reply so that they can reply directly to you concerning this travel-related issue. They should also be able to provide you with an update on the timetable for travel procedures related to Colombia.
