The last time I raised the issue that my application for a visa to Egypt may be rejected(judgment based on earlier experience of myself and colleagues with Egypt and Jordan), I met such cool reception that I assumed this was not a matter for at-large discussion. Be that as it may, now that my application has actually been rejected again, I wish to ask why international meetings have to be held at such visa-unfriendly countries? I understand Cairo is in the running for the next IGF as well. Siavash ------------------------------------------------- IPM/IRNIC P.O.Box 19395-5564, Shahid Bahonar Sq.
