12:18:50 From Jules NIZEYIMANA : yes
12:18:51 From Hadia : yesn we ca
12:19:47 From Mohamed : idea of a statement or we can have members speaking in the open forum
12:20:03 From Sarah Kiden : Open forum is a good idea
12:20:31 From Mohamed : Ramanou > Abdulkarim
12:20:33 From Sarah Kiden : We can have the statement though it will not be read during the meeting as we shall not have the joint AFRALO-AfrICANN meeting this time round
12:22:42 From Sarah Kiden : Though I agree that the country selected should not be this complex to get visas. I think this has been one of the toughest
12:24:01 From Sarah Kiden : I agree with Daniel! Kudos to the Travel team for all the support
12:24:15 From Mohamed : I agree, Travel team are very supportive
12:25:02 From Abdulkarim Oloyede : I agree with Daniel. But travel team delayed issueing out hotel. if that have done that early people would have been able to apply again with more time
12:25:12 From Remmy Nweke : From my prism, its all about generating income for the country, hence they are not giving anyone option of appeal but reapplication, which goes with visa fee.
12:25:42 From Sarah Kiden : +1 to selection of meeting venues
12:26:28 From Remmy Nweke : What exactly was the essence of codified invitation letter by icann travel?
12:26:44 From heidi.ullrich : @All, you may have seen Nick Tomasso’s (head of meetings) response to Maureen’s note:
12:26:47 From heidi.ullrich : In part: Joseph has reached out to all funded travelers on their visa application status. As predicted, some have received denials … 13 to be exact. It is not unusual to see this number of visa denials for an ICANN Meeting anywhere in the world.


Joseph has now triggered the next phase of the visa process, which is:

Determine if those denied would like to re-apply, and provide support as necessary.
Engage with our Canadian partners, as mentioned above, and seek their support to reconsider the visa denials.
12:26:53 From Daniel K Nanghaka : it has been a worry right from the time when the Meeting Venue was selected
12:27:09 From Abdulkarim Oloyede : I have never seen anything like this visa process in my life.
12:27:48 From Remmy Nweke : its very strange
12:28:57 From Michel TCHONANG : +1 Tijani
12:29:05 From Daniel K Nanghaka : Thanks Tijani for the highlight on meetings team
12:29:17 From Michel TCHONANG : +1 Tijani
12:29:23 From Abdulkarim Oloyede : we can only speak at the public forum if we are able to attend. some of us are already planning to boycott ICANN 66 if others cant visa
12:30:03 From Sarah Kiden : Thank you @Tijani for representing our views
12:30:06 From Seun Ojedeji : @Abdul you can comment online
12:31:06 From Abdulkarim Oloyede : ok, Seun
12:31:41 From Sarah Kiden : Hi Yaovi, good to see you on our call. Welcome!
12:31:46 From Michel TCHONANG : Je pense qu'il faudrait que nous puissions adresser une lettre formelle à ce sujet au CEO en plus de la déclaration publique
12:32:41 From Michel TCHONANG : Nous avons eu la même situation pour la grande bretagne et après pas d'action pour la suite
12:33:35 From Abdulkarim Oloyede : je suis d'accord avec toi Michel
12:34:51 From silvia.vivanco : the sample is linked to the Agenda
