Do we want to apply instead to attend the regional IGF in Seoul from 3-5 Sept, particularly since the issue of IDN variants is particularly acute for the APAC region, or possibly seek funding to attend both (but only 4 people travel to each)

   Just to note -- Bali (Indonesia) does not require a visa from most (if not 
all) short-term visitors, Seoul (Korea) does.  This actually tripped me up in 
the weeks prior to Beijing.  I did broach the matter of visas with YJ last week, 
i'll send her a follow-up email with suggestions on how the Korean "visa support 
letter" can be more effective (#1 would be that this letter should be in the 
language of the country issuing the visas, not in English).

2 cents,
