GAC 建议
2015-10-21 Visas
The GAC notes that a number of GAC Representatives had difficulties in obtaining visas for this meeting and some were unable to attend in person for this reason, thereby excluding some Representatives from the full range of GAC work. This has also been an issue at previous meetings. There are particular issues for government representatives in obtaining visas where a letter of invitation is from ICANN rather than an agency of the government of the country hosting the meeting.
a. The GAC advises the Board that:
i. it should investigate options for optimising visa approval procedures, including appropriate liaison in advance with the national government of the country hosting the meeting; and that the GAC is available to assist in this regard.
