[governance] visas for india?

[William Drake]

Hi,

Glad to know that he has publicly offered to help.  Markus gave me  
his details but I didn't know he was open to any and all inquiries.   
For most people this really shouldn't be necessary, the IGF  
registration and invite letter on the web is supposed to suffice, but  
it may be that people from some particular countries or whatever need  
more targeted assistance.

Best,

Bill
