Dear Councillors, I applied today at the Canadian High Commission at London for my visa for the ICANN meeting with invitation letter etc. Without even asking any questions it was flatly refused. Apparently, the High Commission wouldn't even speak to the ICANN staff. Guess I may not be seeing you all in Toronto. May be an idea to ensure Government support before accepting requests to host ICANN meetings next time. For all the grievances at least the Senaglese gave everyone visas on arrival.

Hi Zahid, I think that is always missed point about host, the support given by many host organizations is limited to invitation letter, governemnt support has more weight. Rafik 2012/9/18 Zahid Jamil <zahid@dndrc.com>
