Hello Rafik,



>>  can you please clarify the Board request about criteria for eligibility?

The report from the working group stated:

'The primary criterion for eligibility is financial need.   The definition
of financial need and the method for determining the needs of an application
has not been established by the WG at this time."

So I believe that the Board is suggesting that further work be done in that
area.

Important considerations would be criteria for how to identify needy
applicants, how many such applicants there is likely to be, how to select
amongst needy applicants if there is limited funding, who would make that
selection etc.

Bruce Tonkin
