> Dear Mr. Arsene Tungali,
> This is with reference to your GCCS 2017 participation. We have partnered
> with leading Telecom service providers in India to provide a free Wi-Fi
> service to interested participants at GCCS venue. The Government of India
> regulation requires that the passport number and the copy of the passport
> of the user be collected to provide Wi-Fi service in public places.
>
> To expedite this process we have provided a facility in your GCCS account
> to upload a scanned copy of your passport along with necessary passport
> details. If you wish to avail the free Wi-Fi facility at the GCCS venue, it
> is requested that you upload a scanned copy of your passport showing the
> photograph, address and passport number in ‘Registration Details’ section
> of your GCCS account.
>
> Foreign nationals who have not uploaded their passport details would need
> to carry the passport to the venue if they wish to avail the Wi-Fi facility.
>
> Regards,
> GCCS 2017 Team
