Mr. Chairman, there is no change in the requirement for a passport. The host society has indicated that they will do their best to allow the athletes into the country with a birth certificate and a general identification card. We are still insisting that all the athletes have passports, so we have not moved on that. We are looking at a plan B and we are negotiating and talking to the host society and the state of Alaska to ensure that we can get into the country in the event that some of our athletes or some of our mission staff may not have their passport in time. Thank you.
