Siavash, I didn't notice your visa problem, not read your email, obviously. So sorry about that - I mean your rejection, and at least in principle, I take it seriously. It may not be appropriate the details here, but have you asked for some "fast-track" or help via through ICANN staff and/or local host? izumi 2008/11/4 Siavash Shahshahani <shahshah@irnic.ir>:
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
