<div dir="ltr">I have been through the document. I feel we can reduce the number of words. I also feel it would be useful to start with some principles. e.g effective participation in meeting; avoiding unnecessary stress etc. We should call for consistency in
administrative procedures while acknowledging special circumstances linked to developing countries.

<div>Could we not insert some explicit language on the visa issue we were recently discussing? Something that links it to the choice of host?</div>
