I am somewhat surprised about this:
LETTERS OF INVITATION:
After you complete the registration process, you will be given the
option of requesting a Letter of Invitation for IETF 71 in
Philadelphia
and for IETF 73 in Minneapolis. You can request the Letter of
Invitation
as soon as you finish registration, or at a later time by
following the
link provided in the confirmation email.
Why does anyone need to REGISTER first before getting an invitation
letter
which may help with getting a VISA ???
To cut down on scams where people ask for letters of invitation as a
means
of getting a visa with no intention of attending the meeting.
There is evidence that the IETF has been prey to this in the past,
and other international meetings certainly have.
