Projected Attendees & Entry Requirements in New Zealand

[Tom Bellwood <bellwood@us.ibm.com>]

Hi everyone,

Here is some information on the entry requirements. At least for US citizens, they do not require a VISA, BUT, you do need to bring along a letter from your company detailing the exact nature of the trip and guaranteeing all expenses. This should be carried and presented to Immigration Officials upon arrival if requested. Those with non-US citizenship may have different or additional requirements - please check based on your situation.

Also, based upon the poll we did to set up the New Zealand meeting, I show the following people attending:

Tom Bellwood
Tony Rogers
Andrew Hately
Max Voskob
Claus von Riegen
Mirek Novotny
John Colgrave
Massimo Paolucci
Rob Kochman
Paul Thorpe
Daniel Feygin

I realize not everyone has made their arrangements, but for at least the air portion, you need to do this ASAP. If you are on this list and are not intending to attend, please let Tony and myself know, or if you previously said no, but now are attending, please let us know that too.


Thanks,
