[proposed comment] Community Travel Support Guidelines

while I agree with Ayden that the comments about visa problems and site 
choice will not likely appear in the summary, we have to consider the 
other benefits of including a short statement (with facts and 
illustrative examples if possible).  More people read comments than 
letters I think, so the oftener we deliver our message the better.  I 
don't think this is that much out of scope, as long as we keep it tight 
as Caleb suggests, I think we should go for it.
