I'm vaguely curious why we hold back registration until 10 weeks. Why not open it 1 day after the end of the prior meeting? Or open it 364 days before each meeting or whatever? This seems to regularly recur as a question - so there must be a way to remove the friction / take the issue off the table...

Agree. the issue at hand seems to be getting a letter of invitation to start the visa process. Delivering a letter of invitation is in my understanding mechanically done (or it should be).  In this case, as soon as the venue is confirmed/contracted, we can deliver those!  I’m pretty sure the ioac is well aware of that, so I wonder what blocks to provide it early.

One small issue here based on the experience of hosting few IETFs. Some of the consulates and embassies require an invitation letter signed by a *local host* (This was the case for the Montreal and the Toronto IETFs - I had to hand sign and snail mail ~100 letters). So I would think that getting a local host is the gating factor rather than the confirmation/contract of the venue.

Thanks
Suresh
