# Upper Middle Income Country Eligibility

The Board requests the Portfolio Committee to consider modifications to the Global Fund policy on eligibility, particularly with regard to the criteria for Upper-Middle Income Countries, and to make a recommendation to the Board by early February 2007, so that the Board may take a vote by e-mail following a Board conference call that is informed by prior submissions from Board delegations on any such recommendations prior to the launch of the Call for Proposals for Round 7.
