[WSIS CS-Plenary] badging procedure for late night arrivals

[NURSES ACROSS THE BORDERS]

Dear Andy.
Your information is very handy to me and my team, as
we shall leave Nigeria 2 am GMT tonite to arrive
tomorrow. No thanks to the German Embassy who refused
my transit visa as I would have travelled Friday, I
have missed the Prp Com 3 now.
I hope our hotel will be fairer.
Enjoy your stay-one knows that people love to take
advantage of events like this to rip off visitors.
It is well.
