Message-ID: <Pine.SGI.4.31.0110301553130.892565-100000@fsgi01.fnal.gov> Hi Chris, This is a non-trivial and delicate question made even more difficult by the current heightened tensions. The fact that their English is ... unique, shouldn't automatically preclude them from being valid registrants. If they have submitted registration forms they may actually want to attend the Workshop and may need letters to obtain visas. It will have to be Makoto's call. For the CTEQ summer school I normally get a dozen participants each year that, often with rather poor English, request a formal letter of invitation to get a visa.
