A report in the Khaleej Times claims that an offer has been made to the ACC and that a move could be almost immediate. The ICC is in temporary accommodation while the DSC is finished, and a similar arrangement could be implemented for the ACC.
The newspaper quotes a senior ACC official as saying: "The offer needs to go through the finance committee. It would then go to the executive board and the general body."
The proposal is believed to include rent-free office space, relocation expenses, a subsidy for the staff and sponsorship of ACC events totaling around $1 million per annum. While living expenses would be considerably higher than in Kuala Lumpar, where the ACC is based at the moment, the soruce added that as "there is no taxation in the emirates and for the employees that could be a major attraction."
The newspaper concludes that the final decision is likely to depend on the Indian board "as they call the shots within the ACC".
