[governance] Azeri visas

[Robert Guerra]

Might i remind everyone that asked the issue of Azeri visas both at the Feb and May IGF open consultations in Geneva.


>From my notes of the Feb consultation, it seems we'll get an answer in August...

...

Azerbaijan IGF Secretariat... 

-        Visas: Arrangements with Azeri foreign ministry are being negotiated.

o   An expedited process is likely to be arranged so as to make “process as easy as possible”.

o   Normally can take up to 5-7 days for a visa to obtained. This will be expedited for IGF participants.

o   Comment made that “will try and see if Visas can be obtained upon arrival” by IGF participants.

o   Information about visas will be announced no later then 3 months before event (Aug 2012)


regards

Robert
