If one member cityy requires

the General Secretariat which will find out which other
member city could provide expertise on the particular issue.
The OWHC will p provide the travel costs for the expert
p of the
one city to go to the city needing assistance. The city providing
the expert from its staff will send that person without it being
considered his vacation or time off and the cityy needingg
assistance will cover the cost of accommodation and meals. Of
course, this is not a long term arrangement. Experts may
spend
p a week or a little more in the cityy and mayy return
periodically if it is necessary.
