Hi,

Now that this has been released, we need to determine rather soon, how  
the available travel slots (10) for Cairo will be allocated.  Once the  
bi-cameral  approach is approved, if it is, this might be easy, for  
now we have 6 constituencies and 10 slots and that means they do not  
divide equally.

  Some questions that need to be answered (there may be more):

- do all constituencies wish to take part in the allocation?

- should allocation be based on need?
- - if so how is need determined?
-- is self declaration of need sufficient?
-- and what if more then 10 indicate need?

- do individual council members request support or should the request  
come from the constituency?

We may also want to provide feedback on the policy, but that is less  
critical at this point then of making sure we have the names in time  
for 60 days prior to the meeting.  My assumption is that we need to  
provide our list of names by the end of August.

a.
