Distribution of Places

4. It is currently envisaged that selection of citizenship recipients would operate in two tranches. The majority of places would be distributed in the first tranche, as quickly as administrative processes in Hong Kong permitted, so that early confidence could be given to key personnel who might otherwise leave. Except in the case of the Key Entrepreneurs Section a second tranche (about 13% of the overall total) would be reserved for allocation nearer to 1997, to cater for those who would by then have moved into key positions, and to give any who had failed to secure a place in the first round a second chance. The figures for the second tranche might be adjusted to take account of any shortfall in the first. People would be able to submit only one application in each tranche. It is expected that the majority of the places would be given to people in the private

sector.
