THE 20th DIRECTING COUNCIL,

1. To accord the right to vote in the XX Meeting of the Directing Council to those countries
affected by Article 6.B of the Constitution of the Pan American Health Organization.

which the Directing Council views this most serious matter which would call for the application of
Article 6.B at subsequent meetings in the absence of positive efforts to eliminate the arrearages.
