Some members of the community have been asking, concerning the Chinese visa application: (2.6): asks, "Who will pay for the cost of travelling and living during your stay in China?" The honest answer is "Inviter", mostly. I just want to confirm that this is what is expected for us to do. (2.7) The visa form asks for details about health insurance. If ICANN provides emergency medical assistance; do we list that? For the purposes of  (2.8), that the "inviter" is CNNIC based on the this invitation we are supposed to get. But there is a separate entry (2.9) which asks for a "relative, friend or contact person in China"). What should we put here? A fellow traveller? Or a local resident?

 The Chair will be requesting more details on what are official travel couriers as noted in the visa application instructions.

Some members of the community have been wondering about very short "travel buffer" period which does not allow for much rest before the meeting begins, especially for members traveling long distances.
