operating procedures for membership changes

[KASWESHA]

Hello Farzi. The document sounds good but may I suggest that we add in the
document " where travel support is issued according to region
representation, and for any reasons the beneficially is not able to travel,
we source alternate from that particular region unless there are no
eligible candidate" With light touch though.

Regards;

James Njoroge Gitau
