[Milton L Mueller] Yes, I suggest we do, and soon! We cannot deal with "perhaps's" when it comes to arrival at a foreign country without a visa. 
I am trying to run an academic symposium the day before and I can't even tell the people whose papers we have accepted how to get into the country. 

With Oksana (hi!) egging me on, I will continue complaining....
Do you know that the IGF website does not even contain a link to the official IGF2012 site run by the host? http://igf2012.com/ 
(or if it does I did not find it after an hour of staring at its drab colors.)
The official site has a visa section, but among the pages and thousands of words the only relevant information as of now is this: 

"This page will be updated with information regarding issuance of the visa upon arrival and visa fee waiver.
For VISA assistant, please contact visainquiries at igf2012.az" 

I have sent an email to that address. 
I will let you all know what the response is.
