APPENDIX 1. The following formulae for determining the number of votes to be allocated to each Member were proposed, each by one delegation. Formula A (a) 1 vote for every 10 millions of population. (b) 1 vote for every 50 million U.S. dollars of external trade. (c) 1 vote for every 500 million U.S. dollars of national income. (d) 1 vote for every 10% of the percentage of external trade to national income. (e) 100 basic votes. Formula B (a) 1 vote for every 50 million U.S. dollars of foreign trade. (&) 1 vote for every 500 million U.S. dollars of national income. (c) 1 vote for every 25 U.S. dollars of foreign trade per capita. (d) 10 basic votes. 2. For the purposes of the initial allocation of votes, the factors (b), (c) and (d) in Formula A and (a), (b) and (c) in Formula B shall be calculated on the average of the last three pre-war calendar years in which the Member was in a position to conduct normal trade and the full calendar year preceding the entry into force of the Charter. The succeeding calculations of these factors to be made at the time of the periodic review provided for in paragraph 9 of Article 75 (using Alternative A of that Article) shall be based on the average of the three immediately preceding calendar years. 3. The delegations who proposed the formulae set out above submitted the following tables showing the results of their application. The statistical material used in these tables was the best available to these delegations at the Second Session. More accurate material will be supplied to the World Conference by the statistical services of the United Nations.
