Thank you Mike for this FAQ. However, it seems to me this is the result of an "internal" assessment conducted by Foundation employees, with the help of local organizers.
I'm not sure what you mean by "internal" here, but I consulted with a number of outside experts with relevant experience. I expect to continue consulting with them and others as the conference gets nearer. The focus on the local team's responses in the FAQ reflects the Egyptian consulate's advice -- that all international conferences work with their local partners to get local advice about how to reduce risk.
