<p>Colleagues,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Following up on Phil's point below about timely notification of hotel, I noted with some alarm the following in the standard email we all received from ICANN travel this week (see highlighted bit below). What can we do about this? The Council table will
be pretty empty if this is indeed what will happen.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Further to my <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann57-hyderabad-what-you-need-to-know"><span style="text-decoration:none">blog</span></a> on
25 July 2016, I would like to share details on visa applications to assist all who are attending ICANN57 Annual General Meeting in Hyderabad with your travel planning.<br>
<br>
We have worked extensively with the India government to ensure a clear and smooth process for all Indian visa applications. They have also assured us that all ICANN57 visa applications will be treated as priority.<br>
<br>
All delegates requiring visas to India should visit <a href="http://www.mea.gov.in/indian-missions-abroad.htm"><span style="text-decoration:none">here</span></a> to find the nearest India diplomatic mission to apply for your visa. You must apply for a <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Conference
Visa</span></strong>. Please refer to the <a href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/hyderabad57/visa-application-guide-india"><span style="text-decoration:none">guide</span></a> we have put together for reference. Apply early as the process could take up to two
weeks. You will also need <a href="https://invitationletters.icann.org/"><span style="text-decoration:none">invitation letters</span></a> from ICANN and the local host, which may take another two weeks to generate.<br>
<br>
Do take note that the e-Tourist Visa will not be applicable for our ICANN meeting. Any traveler trying to enter India with the e-Tourist Visa may be denied entry. If you have an existing valid Business Visa, you need not apply for the Conference Visa.<br>
<br>
We have set up a dedicated email (<a href="mailto:icann57visasupport@icann.org)"><span style="text-decoration:none">icann57visasupport@icann.org)</span></a> that you can contact should you need any further clarification about the visa.<br>
<br>
Remember to <a href="https://registration.icann.org/register.php?id=Hyderabad57"><span style="text-decoration:none">register</span></a> for ICANN57 and check our <a href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/hyderabad57"><span style="text-decoration:none">meeting
site</span></a> for regular updates. Lastly, don't forget to attend the webinar on 7 September 2016 (1500 UTC) where we will share more information on ICANN57, logistics, accommodations and travel. Look out for our announcement and join us then. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
