New Letter of Invitation Request Tool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is now possible to request a letter of invitation (LOI) to attend any published future IETF meeting. This has been put into place in order to give potential attendees a longer lead time for their visa application to be processed. In order to receive a LOI using the automated system, you must meet one of the following criteria:

• Author of a -01 or above version Internet Draft
• Author of an RFC
• Attended an IETF meeting since IETF 65

The multi-LOI Request Tool is available on the main meetings page and a direct link is provided here:

https://www.ietf.org/registration/letterofinvite/letterofinvite.py

The LOI tool will ask for your email address for validation purposes. If you provide a different email address than the one we have on file for you, the system will not be able to generate a LOI and you will need to contact registrar@ietf.org so that we can update your email address in the database.

Currently the LOI system is providing letters of invitation for IETF 75, 76 and 77. Please note that IETF 76 will be in Hiroshima, Japan and because Japan's visa requirements are somewhat unique, the IETF letter of invitation alone will not be sufficient for visa application purposes. When IETF 76 gets a bit closer, we will be working closely with WIDE, the host of IETF 76, to provide additional assistance with visa applications.

Coming soon:
We are configuring the system to allow authors of -00 version working group drafts to request a LOI via the system as well, and we will have this available shortly. In the meantime, if you don't meet the criteria to obtain an LOI via the automated system, you are encouraged to contact the IETF Registrar at registrar@ietf.org for assistance.

Regards,
Alexa
