AMMAN, Jordan -- A special committee of the PLO met Sunday in the Jordanian capital to discuss mechanisms for a future election of the Palestinian National Council.
The meeting comes amid calls from Palestinian youth who met recently to demand the enfranchisement of all Palestinians through direct elections to the PNC.
The chairman of the PNC, Salim al-Zanoun, told Voice of Palestine radio that the committee would raise questions about the number of representatives, mechanisms for the election in Palestine and abroad, whether the vote should be held at once or in stages, and the possibility of forming an election committee

Officials were also to discuss the splintered political movements in Syria and how they might participate in the election given the state of unrest as the country's uprising drags into a new year.
They set a date -- Feb. 2 -- to release the findings in the presence of members of the executive committee and heads of various factions as well as five non-member movements.
