THE DIRECTING COUNCIL,

WHEREAS:

The President of the Directing Council, Brian Ward, and the Vice-President, Marjorie Taylor, Delegates of Canada and Jamaica respectively, are unable to attend the 76^th Meeting, for reasons beyond their control;

The Statute of the IACI does not establish a substitution procedure for a case of temporary absence of the President and Vice-President of the Directing Council;

The Director General, as Secretary of the Council, has consulted the OAS Secretariat for Legal Affairs on this matter and, as a result, there is a need for the Directing Council to appoint ad-hoc authorities for the duration of the Meeting;

The Executive Committee, consulted on this matter, has came to a conclusion similar to that contained in the recommendation of the OAS Secretariat for Legal Affairs;

The Delegate of Jamaica has suggested the candidacy of Joan Crawford, Delegate of Barbados, to act as ad-hoc Vice-President;

Twenty countries are represented at the time of the election;

RESOLVES:

To elect, by acclamation, Joan Crawford to fill the position of ad-hoc Vice-President of the Directing Council during its 76^th Meeting.
