Dear all,

We have just sent the first group of type 1 letters to 200 participants who have
completed on-line registration. There are some participants who have also
completed on-line registration and will been sent type I letters very soon.

It seems that too many people will visit China around Olympics, Beijing, which
begins on 8 Aug. 2008. We got some messages that the visa application policy may
change due to this huge number of visitors in this short period. Therefore, we
suggest completing on-line registration ASAP and applying for visa immediately
once you receive the invitation letter. It might also be helpful, though we are
not sure currently, if you do NOT list, on your visa application form, Beijing as
one of Chinese provinces/cities which you intend to visit.

But for a participant from Iran or Turkey, you still need a type 2 letter for visa
application. You must submit some additional materials before the LOC can issue
type 2 letters. Please see http://robocup-cn.org/travel/ for more information and
contact LI Jing (lij at sipedi.cn) directly.  Once receiving the type 1 letter, a
participant from other countries/regions can apply for Chinese visa, if needed,
according to the instructions on the same web page. If there is any problem with
the type 1 letter you receive, please contact Zhiwei dirtily
(songzw at ustc.edu.cn).

Please note that we have also announced contact persons for other issues at http://robocup-cn.org/News
& Announcements. In addition, we will announce contact persons for more issues on
the same webpage very soon.

We also established a Mailing List for Participants so that each participant can
get messages from the LOC directly and quickly. Welcome all participants to join
it via the website http://groups.google.com/group/robocup2008-participant.

Please distribute this letter on your mailing lists. Thanks!

Best,
Zengqi and Xiaoping
