<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>Hi
All,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>Further to this
morning, I have had a rethink on how we proceed with the PCO tender
dilemma. In the interest of fairness to all SCVB Gold Member
PCOs, the necessity for me to remain impartial throughout the PCO
tender process, to ensure that we have the bid budget as soon as possible and
still ensure that we don't alienate other PCOs who you may still consider to
appoint once the bid is won, can I propose:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007></SPAN></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>- Due to the change in
timelines following Canada, the formal PCO tender process should go on
hold until the decision is made in November. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>- In the meantime,
everyone agrees on <STRONG>one </STRONG>PCO that I can request to complete the
budget for us. This in no way commits you to this PCO but I really feel I
must be directed by you the committee, towards only PCO one at this
stage, solely for the purpose of preparing the budget and getting us to bid
submission stage and that I remain impartial.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>Can we agree to a
deadline of tomorrow, <STRONG>Tuesday 09 October, 1pm (Sydney
time).</STRONG></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>If anyone needs to
call me for clarification, has any questions, I will be in a meeting from 4pm
but should be back at my desk before 5.30pm, alternatively you can reach me
tomorrow after about 11.30am.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=343433305-08102007>Sorry, for making
this element a little frustrating as I realise it isn't easy to shortlist to one
at the moment but I can assure you that all of the PCOs are of an extremely
high standard in the area of conference management.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
