<p class="MsoNormal">I would counsel that we prioritise grants to those where we are underrepresented in both economic and gender terms - see the OECD Development Assistance Countries list [1]. While trains can be useful in the short term, we need to really
consider the balance between being environmentally conscious and bringing those from the frontier of where we need to be and have the most impact. This will be achieved through empowering those through the TGP. In less diplomatic terms, if we're not going
to hold conferences with more regularity in SSE Asia, Latin American and the Caribbean, and Africa, we need to facilitate their travel to Europe and North America - that will mean flights 99% of the time.<o:p></o:p></p>

I'd suggest one criterion for the decision is to prioritise sustainable <br>
forms of transport. I.e. flying would be last, trains first.<br>
