Good job! Thank you very much.
Suggestion: Pull screendumps of those MICE/TCEB web pages before IETF to show them
to future host countries that fail to well document Visa/Visa-Waiver
requirements so they can see how Thailand did it (aka: if we ever should
go back to Argentine or the like).
(after IETF, the mentioning of IETF on those web-pages may expire).
Cheers
