                                                costs shall be for:
                                                • accommodation of officials
                                                • single room occupancy

                                                • special arrangements requested to the LOC

                                                be used to cover all or part of the extra accommodation costs. However, if the amount is
                                                insufficient, or if the travel arrangements have been made by the IAAF, the extra accommodation
                                                costs must be paid for by the Member Federation directly.

                                                Payments to the LOC can be made in cash (GBP, USD or Euros) or by credit card:
