<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the case can be made that OSONOS in all of
its iterations has never really been a "business conference," but rather a
gathering of friends and colleagues coming together to share our selves and our
journeys. I have no intention of doing any business, and definitely no business
in India. I am just coming to hang out with friends and to see some sights--
which I guess is the definition of a tourist. See you on the beach -- and the
beach in Goa is fantastic!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2>I'm posting this to the list, maybe others
have encountered the same problem. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I tried today to apply for an Indian visa to go to OSonOS.
As this is an international conference (going on business), I need a letter of
invitation from an Indian entity, I was told, to apply for a
visa.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Is there anyone in India who can provide such an invitation?
Who should I contact?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>They also said that a letter of invitation from OSI-USA
wouldn't hurt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>How has this been for others?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
