Abstract: We classify the triples $HsubsetKsubsetG$ of nested compact Lie groups which satisfy the "positive triple" condition that was shown by the second author to ensure that $G/H$ admits a metric with quasi-positive curvature. A few new examples of spaces that admit quasi-positively curved metrics emerge from this classification; namely, a $C{P}^2$-bundle over $S^6$, a $B^7$-bundle over $H{P}^2$, a $C{P}^{2n-1}$-bundle over $H{P}^n$ for each $ngeq2$, and a family of finite quotients of $T^1{S}^6$.
