The Conference may deal with this report separately from reports under article 12 of its Standing Orders, and may discuss it during a sitting devoted entirely to this report, or in any other appropriate way. Since according to the Declaration, the global report is to be a regular item for consideration by the Conference, it would seem advisable, for reasons of simplicity, to opt for the first solution. This could consist in the addition of a new paragraph to article 12 of the Conference Standing Orders to the effect that its paragraph 3, concerning the right to speak and on the time-limit for speeches, would not apply. Paragraph 3 shall not apply to the discussion of special reports prepared by the Director-General for a separate discussion in accordance with a decision of the Conference. The Selection Committee shall fix the times of this discussion and the manner in which it shall be conducted.
Italics indicate the words that it is proposed to add.
