Hi Winthrop, Thank you for bringing this up again. Your message was sent to KISA and Korea government as well. Look forward to seeing many of you here! Cheers, YJ On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 11:23 AM, Winthrop Yu <w.yu@gmx.net> wrote:

The application is to attend the IGF in Bali from 22 - 25 October. Do we want to apply instead to attend the regional IGF in Seoul from 3-5 Sept, particularly since the issue of IDN variants is particularly acute for the APAC region, or possibly seek funding to attend both (but only 4 people travel to each)
Just to note -- Bali (Indonesia) does not require a visa from most (if not all) short-term visitors, Seoul (Korea) does. This actually tripped me up in the weeks prior to Beijing. I did broach the matter of visas with YJ last week, i'll send her a follow-up email with suggestions on how the Korean "visa support letter" can be more effective (#1 would be that this letter should be in the language of the country issuing the visas, not in English).
2 cents,
WYn
