to make this decision, I think that the input from the NCAs would
be useful in making that decision. Also, I think it would be fine
to at least invite Andrey to participate in your discussion along
with the three existing NCAs. <SPAN

<DIV>This could be an option but perhaps it should add a possible refusal by
the NCA, in the case that he/she is not in favour of serving one of the
houses or becoming a homeless. What I want to say is that it sounds unfair
just say where NCAs go and not having any feedback about their
expectations.<BR><SPAN class=068571714-11092009><FONT face=Arial><FONT

Olga. I don't think we would benefit very much if an NCA was placed in

value. <SPAN

agree that NCA input is useful, but not dispositive. For
example, one NCA will have to be non-voting (can we not use "homeless",
please?). If all three "refuse" to be the non-voting NCA and we've
committed to honoring those preferences, we've created quite a mess
for ourselves.
