Decisión nº: 002472

In June 1996 the 1992 Fund Assembly decided not to amend the deadlines for distributing documents (Rule 17 of its Rules of Procedure), which required provisional agendas and supporting documents for each session normally to be communicated by the Director to Members at least 45 days before regular sessions and 30 days before extraordinary sessions. It was recognised, however, that different considerations applied to documentation issued in connection with incidents, where the most up-to-date information was needed to allow informed decisions to be made, and in order not to delay the settlement of claims. The 1992 Fund Assembly noted that 1971 Fund Assembly had instructed the Director to study the question of which guidelines should apply for the distribution of documentation for sessions of the 1971 Fund Executive Committee and to report to the Assembly at its 19th session in October 1996.
