[NCUC-DISCUSS] Travel slots available for Hyderabad meeting

[Ayden Férdeline]

Just to extend a minority position: I have found it extraordinarily difficult to obtain a visa for India and still do not have one — there seems to be a lot of inconsistency in how, when, and to whom different Indian consulates issue visas. As I would hope that both of these slots could be utilised, I think it would be useful if the EC could prioritise applicants who do not require a visa, as there are just two weeks until ICANN 57 begins.

I also got Indian visa in 2 days, so I agree with Tapani that we should consider people as he proposes.

In some countries Indian visas can be had pretty fast.

When I applied in Indian embassy in Helsinki I got reply next day
saying it'd been approved (even though they wouldn't issue it
immediately because its validity will begin from the time it's
written - I'd applied too early!).

So I'd suggest considering also non-locals with the caveat that if
they don't get the visa quickly the slot will be reassigned.
