[Community-Discuss] AFRINIC-31 Meeting

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

I don’t think so, you need to arrange it in advance, unless your country has some explicit waiver with Angola.

 

I suggest the on-line system.

 

I tried the local consulate in Madrid, and was almost impossible, but the online system worked very well and very fast.

 

Regards,

Jordi

I'm not sure having a meeting-specific mailing list helps here, because it assumes that attendees will always register.

Brokers (and in particular, brokers who spam) can't be guaranteed to register, or more specifically, follow the rules. They could just show up as regular hotel guests, not register for the conference, and reach out to AFRINIC members like they did me and many others, to organize sidebar meetings, cocktails, dinners, e.t.c. This, I believe, is far more likely than anything else above-board.

So the best defence is to equip the membership to not get caught up in this whirlwind, should they be called to the side by the brokers.

many years ago, there were meeting-specific mailing lists, so that 
meeting attendees could share taxi rides, find dinner partners, or 
jogging trails, .. etc.  without spamming regular mailing lists.  if you 
weren’t registered for the specific meeting (and presumably onsite) 
you were saved from the span of “where is a nice place to .. “ type 
messages, which were only really contextually useful for meeting 
attendees.  the lists were killed shortly after the meeting.

that process was unfortunately discontinued.
