Re: Tourist or business visa from US?

I would note that the Chinese entry from (that you have to hand over to
Immigration along with your visa and passport) specifically has a single
box labelled "business/conference", which is clearly the applicable box
for attending the IETF.

My understanding is that the only difference in paperwork is the
letter of invitation. Is there any other additional paperwork that is
necessary?  I would have thought that letters of invitation would be
something the host had anticipated would be needed by the attendees - at
least a subset. The wording on the meeting FAQ is somewhat nebulous as it
notes that the secretariat won't provide the letters and that one is
needed from the host, but there's no information on the process to request
one.  Do we just send an email to the individual listed as the contact for
our visit?
