Vinayak and All;

The process in Argentina for the Letter of Invitation from a local
entity is that all such letters require they be notarized.
 Proceeding in this manner would add further delay to the process.

We have worked out an arrangement with Foreign Affairs (Cancilleria)
that they will confirm by Tuesday 16 February. Participants will
then submit a Visa request together with a copy of that document
provided by the office of Foreign Affairs.

The Consulates in each country will have a notification with the
names of the participants registered for the IETF meeting and
processing will be simplified.

IAD
