Fri Sep 14 11:21:54 UTC 2007

All,

Primarily, the management do what is necessary to meet the requirements of
the meeting location expectations, this is done by traveling to all the
locations to validate the application.

The board votes on the location of choice based on capacity within the host
country.

It is important to note that the meeting location has to meet certain
logistical criterion.

With thanks,

Njeri,
