Dr.  Sharīf Doss, head of the Coptic Pubic Agency, stated that the Church has held a meeting with a number of businessmen, legal experts, and Coptic public figures in the Coptic Cathedral in Abbāsīyyah that was attended by Pope Tawadros II. This was to discuss the position of the Church on the constitutional amendments presented by the Constituent Assembly. The Coptic quota was discussed in parliamentary councils as well. The Pope together with 30 attendees refused the demand of the Coptic quota. One attendee, namely counselor Amīr Ramzī, supported the quota. Sources stated that those present accepted the Coptic quota in principle but saw that it must be implemented in a different form.
