Assembly

The Assembly is the supreme organ of Way. It determines the main lines of the organization's policy and instructs the Council on programmes and methods of work. It normally meets every four years. Each member of Way may send up to 15 delegates to the Assembly. Countries with a population Exceeding 10 millions may send more delegates according to a fixed formula; but the maximum number any country can send has been fixed at 25.

On resolutions concerning questions of organization, administration and finance, voting will be by countries. On other matters every delegate has a vote. For approval, all resolutions need a simple majority. In the event of a tie, the Chairman has a casting vote. The Chairman of the Assembly is the President of Way assisted by the Vice-Presidents. The Assembly Council met last in Accra, Ghana, in August, 1960.
