Hi,

I have a question about this proposal.  I am trying to understand in terms of 
writing up the recommendations we have before us (a taks that is turning out to 
be harder tan though giver the condition of the current document)

We are already suggesting that the fees for all applications who meet the need 
condition be lowered by 47% (86 of 186)  and perhaps more.   

When you say reduct it by 60, 40, 20, are you suggesting that this reduction be 
applied after the reduction that is given to all need applicants?

or are you suggesting this as a reduction to is for anyone and not just the 
needy?


BTW, I am assuming that at least in terms of fee reductions we are not talking 
about prioritization since there are not a limited number for fee reductions - 
but perhaps I misunderstand - i have only be assuming that if there is 
prioritization it is applied to limited resource like grants.

thanks

a.
