All, We had hoped to open registration for IETF 96 in Berlin in April. We have been delayed in opening registration due to a failure to have a mechanism in place to originate Letters of Invitation from Germany. We have identified an originator and the final details are being put in place to begin issuing local Letters of Invitation, and have reason to believe this will be in place in the next twenty-four hours. We apologize for the delay and expect to announce the opening of registration tomorrow. Ray
