No offence to the US government whose State Department so kindly sponsored our conference, but I find the idea of a "visa waiver" that costs money and needs pre-approval incredibly absurd.
I was perplexed when I first went to the US 4 years ago; I still am.

Dear International Wikimania 2012 Attendees,
This is a reminder for those who will be traveling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Attendees eligible for VWP must register on the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) website. Those who are traveling with a visa are not required to register for ESTA.
