As in the past, income and disbursements are reported on a calendar year basis. And they are reported in American dollars. There is no annual fee or assessment charged to Members of the Council.
All contributions are voluntary.
Most other contributions are limited to specific purposes and for one or two years at a time. This makes it difficult to do long-term budgeting which will support all elements of the program predictably and equitably. Nevertheless, a fairly clear pattern of contributions has developed over the years which has enabled the Council and most of its Working Groups to sustain a fairly predictable work program. At first glance the income picture looks encouraging. We are grateful to all the contributors who supported the Council program.
