desirable to do so when the project directly concerns more than one Commis 
sion.” The resolution was adopted unanimously.

Assembly of the ISP should be communicated to the Administration at least 
two months in advance. The Administration shall forward the motions with 
or without its comments to the chief delegates at least one month before the 
Congress, in order that the delegates may be able to examine the resolutions 
before the Chief Delegates’ Meeting at the Congress. Questions of great 
importance of which notice has not been given as herein stated may be 
submitted to the General Assembly if a delay should be of disadvantage to the 
activities of the ISP and if all Council members present agree or if there is a 
3/4 majority in favour at the Chief Delegates’ Meeting.” 
The proposal was unanimously adopted.

on voting by post, and the General Assembly decided unanimously that, until

between the Congresses, any member of the ISP or member of the Council of
