Re: [STDS-802-16] IEEE 802.16 Session #69 in St. Petersburg, Russia: Registration is open!
Hi Roger,
Just to add to the difficulties, the visa invitation letter process expects
us to send photo-copies of our credit cards (front and back) via email,
which is unsecured. This is not acceptable at all :)

Xiangying,
I have reported similar difficulties to the organizers. In fact, receiving
the SMS does not complete the transaction, and other errors may arise as
well.
The organizers are reviewing the situation but have not yet been able to
provide a resolution. I have asked them to update the reflector as soon as
possible so that we do not frustrate the participants. I hope to hear more
on Monday.
Regards,
Roger
