We have had government officials offer consular guidance and assistance in the past.  What I would suggest is that anyone who believes they are going to have entry problems for one of our meetings let Portia know.

We’ve also seen cases in the U.S. of people being denied entry capriciously, at the last minute.   The way in which entry is denied should probably also be taken into account: a country that denies entry after approving it, at the last minute, is not a great candidate for an international meeting.
