Hello All,<br><br>Parminder's mail to the MAG list would possibly be taken up at the MAG and hopefully UN would act upon this problem. The Governance list archives are public records and might also have been taken note of by the IGF task committees of the Government of India. I am also sending a brief note to the Government of India to take note of the VISA issues discussed in the thread <a href="http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/arc/governance/2008-10/msg00108.html">http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/arc/governance/2008-10/msg00108.html</a> which is publicly accessible.<br>
<br>Hope this helps.<br><br>Sivasubramanian Muthusamy<br>India.<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 11:17 PM, Norbert Klein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nhklein@gmx.net">nhklein@gmx.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

India" - I got the message when I had to go 7 (SEVEN!) times to the Indian<br>
embassy in Phnom Penh (where I live) to get an expensive visa in order to<br>
attend the ICANN meeting in Delhi earlier in the year. It was a procedure<br>
that took several weeks, and I got the visa into my German pasport finally on<br>
the day before departure.<br>
<br>
I had a nice, official letter of invitation - maybe it would have been seven<br>
times seven times without the official letter of invitation.<br>
<br>
So I knew: "Incredible India!" - or at least incredible staff at the visa<br>
section of the Indian embassy in Phnom Penh.<br>
