	Saudi Arabia - STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT
		Since 1962, Saudi kings periodically promised to establish a majlis ash shura, or consultative council, to advise them on governmental matters, but none of them undertook practical steps to establish such a body.
		In March 1992, King Fahd once again announced that a majlis ash shura would be appointed and specified its responsibilities.
		As of the end of 1992, King Fahd had named only a single individual to the majlis ash shura that he had proposed ten months earlier.

	[oman-l] Re: Majlis ash-Shura
		During Oman's last Shura Council elections in 1994, the government granted women living in the capital Muscat the right to stand for election and make nominations, but their participation was limited to the capital's six provinces.
		I suggest that Shura is enhanced so as to receive information about the people's desires more easily.
		Article 43 reads "The Sultan shall be assisted (tu'awin al-sultan) by the Council of Ministers" - this again points to Shura as opposed to greater participation.
