<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Dear
Nasser,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Thanks
for your suggestion. We try to balance between two main things:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">-
Being in an easy country is good as it will allow more people to
attend the meeting from around the globe.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">-
However, we have an obligation to try to visit as many countries
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">For
Saudi Arabia, Visas are possible and when we did MENOG6 in Riyadh,
we had an excellent show of visitors who managed to get their Visa
on time. Note that you just need to plan earlier.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Having
said the above, we would like to hear your ideas on alternative
locations. Our next meeting is planned for Muscat, Oman.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Regards..<br>
