The presiding officer may accord precedence to the Chairman of the Executive Council and to the Chairman or other officer of a committee or any other subsidiary body of the Conference, for the purpose of explaining a report or recommendations submitted to the Conference. He or she may also accord precedence to the Director-General or his or her representative. 

The Conference may limit the time to be allowed to each speaker and the number of times each representative may speak on any question. When debate is limited and a representative has spoken his or her allotted time, the presiding officer shall call him or her to order without delay. 

During the course of a debate the presiding officer may announce a list of speakers and, with the consent of the Conference, declare the list closed. He or she may, however, accord the right of reply to any representative if a speech delivered after the list has been closed makes this desirable. 

During the discussion of any matter, a representative may move the adjournment of the debate on the item under discussion. Permission to speak on the motion shall be accorded only to two representatives in favour of and to two opposing the adjournment, after which the motion shall be immediately decided. The presiding officer may limit the time to be allowed to speakers under this Rule. 

Proposals and amendments shall normally be submitted in writing to the Director-General who shall circulate copies to all delegations. Unless the Conference decides otherwise, proposals shall not be discussed or considered for decision until the day after copies thereof have been circulated. The presiding officer may, however, permit the discussion and consideration of amendments, or of motions as to procedure, even though these amendments or motions have not been distributed or have been distributed the same day. 

Decisions on matters of substance should be taken as far as possible by consensus. If consensus is not attainable when an issue comes up for decision, the presiding officer shall defer any vote for 24 hours and during this period of deferment shall make every effort to facilitate achievement of consensus, and shall report to the Conference before the end of this period. If consensus is not possible at the end of 24 hours, the Conference shall take the decision by a two-thirds majority of the Members present and voting unless specified otherwise in the Convention. 

After the presiding officer has announced the commencement of a vote, the voting shall not be interrupted until the result has been announced, except on a point of order in connection with the actual conduct of the voting. 

Representatives may make brief statements consisting solely of explanations of a vote, before the voting has commenced or after the voting has been completed. Similarly, explanatory statements of position may be made in connection with a decision taken without a vote. The presiding officer may limit the time to be allowed for such explanations. The presiding officer shall not permit the proposer of a proposal or of an amendment to explain his or her vote on his or her own proposal or amendment. 

If a vote is equally divided in voting other than elections, the presiding officer will give additional time for reconsideration of the issue before the proposal is once again put to vote. In case the vote is still equally divided, the proposal voted upon shall be considered as not adopted. 

When only one elective place is to be filled and no candidate obtains in the first ballot a majority required, a second ballot shall be taken which shall be restricted to the two candidates who obtained the largest number of votes in the first ballot. If in the second ballot the votes are equally divided, the presiding officer shall decide between the candidates by drawing lots. 

When two or more elective places are to be filled at one time under the same conditions, those candidates obtaining in the first ballot the majority required shall be elected. If the number of candidates obtaining the majority required is less than the number of elective places to be filled, there shall be no more than two ballots in respect of each elective place remaining to be filled. If in the first ballot for an unfilled elective place no candidate obtains the majority required, a second ballot shall be taken which shall be restricted to the two candidates who obtained the largest number of votes in the first ballot for that elective place. If in the second ballot for that elective place the votes are equally divided, the presiding officer shall decide between the candidates by drawing lots. 

Before the Conference at each regular session proceeds to elections to the Executive Council, the presiding officer shall indicate to the Conference those elective places on the Executive Council which must be filled so as to ensure that after the end of that session the Executive Council will be constituted in accordance with Article VIII, paragraph 23, of the Convention.
