Dear All:
It would help very much if participants did not send broadcast emails
about visas to many people and to mailing lists.
Believe me, we are actively working with each one of you who has said
there is an issue with visas. Those helping us do this are receiving
many emails beyond what is necessary to help you - the volume of mail
being received actually increases the possibility that something
important will get missed, rather than helping us to help you.
In addition, unless a member of the At-Large staff is specifically
involved in helping with a visa issue, sending emails about them to us
is redundant and time consuming. Where we are needed to be involved
directly our partners - the local hosts, other members of staff, KCA -
are involving us.
We will send an email update on the situation with all those who have
visas in progress to the Afr-Discuss list later today, without
personally-identifying information. In the meantime, please - help us to
help you. Send any issues that you have with YOUR visa to the people
whom you have been asked to contact, and not to groups of other people.
I should also let you know that it is confusing for individual
travellers to send emails about the situation related to other
travellers, EXCEPT if it relates directly to the situation of the person
sending the message.
Please, help us to help you. More emails does not equal more help - and
in fact can have the opposite effect.
