 General Conference of UlvESCO. In particular, he amplifiec the 

 change recornraenoed to Rule 22. Tlie initial wording v/liich 

 reads: "In carrying c,ut his fu-ictions the Secretary shall act 

 under Ihe s'.'thority and on behalf of the Dixector-General cf 

 UNESCO'' would be changed to read: ''In carrying out his 

 functions as defined in Article 8 of the Statutes, on behalf 

 of the Commission, the Secretary shall act under the authority 

 of the Director-General of UNESCO." iVl. Maheu's interpretation 

 of this was that since the IOC Secretariat's duties are per- 

 formed by the UNESCO Office of Oceanography, the words "under 

 the authority of the Director-General'' provided the adminis- 

 trative framevjork within which the Secretariat could operate. 



Inasmuch as the oceanographers at the Intergovern- 

 mental Oceanographic Conference at Copenhagen in 1960 had 

 recommended the establish. ..ent of the IOC under UNESCO, the 

 IOC must be guided by the general policies established by 

 the General Conference of UNESCO to which M, Llaheu, as 

 Director-General 5, and the rest of the Secretariat as well, 

 were obliged to adhere. Further, as part of UfvESCO, the 

 personnel of the Secretariat provided by UNESCO were bound 

 by fixed UNESCO administrative policies which also offered 

 the Secretariat personnel all the rights, privileges, duties, 

 and responsibilities of the UNESCO staff. 



With regard to the scientific and technical operations 

 and functions, the Secretariat would serve on behalf of the 

 Commission and be fully responsive and responsible to ito 

 M, Maheu considered this a satisfactory and flexible arrange- 

 ment which would meet all the requirements of the IOC for 

 independent action. 



The recommended changes were adopted unanimously and 

 are set forth as presented to the plenary in Annex VIII.
