At the beginning of each
session, on the proposal of the Nominations Committee, the General Conference elects a
President and 36 Vice-Presidents, and constitutes the committees and commissions that are
necessary for the conduct of its work. The choice of Vice-Presidents is meant to ensure
the representative character of the General Committee.
Each Committee elects its Chairperson, with the exception of the

Conference on the proposal of the Temporary President; |
