Humm... I stand (no surprises!) with OdyX here. I *do* feel this is in
no way the moment to nitpick on how visa issues should be handled, as
we have historically shown that it's an issue that can be addressed
effectively much later on. Visas are a difficult problem, wherever the
conference happens to be, and we should not spend discussion time on
visa issues at this stage. It's not "ignoring" the issue, but
acknowledging we are aware of it, and will deal with it responsably.
I'm not beating the LeCamp horse again, as there wil always be
opposing opinions. I disagree with your assessment. But lets leave it
aside.

Please do, as un-late as possible :)
