Re: [73attendees] Attendance by country

["Spencer Dawkins" <[e-mail]>]

It's also worth noting that at least some people who need visa letters for 
San Francisco need to be able to get them really soon ;-)

http://www.ietf.org/meetings/meetings.html doesn't have registration open 
yet - is there an alternative source of invitation letters? I put one 
co-worker in touch with Ray because the co-worker has an embassy appointment 
on the 12th, but didn't want to unleash everyone on Ray if there's a better 
way...
