Vittorio was kind enough t explain what you have to do to enter the summit
premises (find an accredited organization - if yours is not already
accredited), and then register yourself.

The _overpasses_ are a totally different thing. It's a crowd control 
mechanism they already used in the first summit, because the plenary hall 
can not accomodate all the people going to the summit. Overpasses are 
distributed through CS caucuses and families, and the requests have been 
delivered yesterday. Some people just don't understand that "reply" goes 
to the whole list, instead of to the CONGO staff kindly handling the pass 
distribution.

Don't worry too much if you don't get any overpasses - the sessions will 
all be streamed and after the first day nobody really goes there anymore, 
as the ministers' speeches all tend to sound the same. And the passes can 
be passed on to other people, they are not linked to names.
