When a Member or Associate Member of the Union communi- cates to the Chairman of the Administrative Council a desire for (a) an Extraordinary Administrative Conference, or (b) a change in the time and/or place of the next Plenipotentiary or Administrative Conference, it shall suggest a time and place. 2. On receipt of twenty or more requests, the Administrative Coun- cil shall inform all Members and Associate Members, give particu- lars and allow a period of six weeks for receipt of their comments. If there is unanimity of opinion among the Members on place and date, the Council shall ascertain whether the Government of the coun- try in which the proposed meeting place is situated is prepared to act as inviting Government. If the answer is in the affirmative, the Council and the Government concerned shall arrange accordingly. If the answer is in the negative, the Council shall so inform the Mem- bers and Associate Members desiring the Conference, and invite alter- native suggestions. On receipt of these suggestions, the Council shall, where appropriate, follow the consultation procedure set out in paragraph 3 below. 3. If more than one meeting place or date for the Conference is suggested, the Council shall consult the Government of each of the countries where the places are situated. When the views of the Gov- ernments have been ascertained, the Council shall invite all Members and Associate Members to choose one of the meeting places and/or dates which have been ascertained to be available. According to the wishes of the majority of the Members, the Council shall then arrange the Conference in collaboration with the inviting Government. 4. All Members and Associate Members shall dispatch their replies to a communication from the Administrative Council regarding the date and meeting place for a Conference in time for the replies to reach the Council within six weeks of the date of the communication from the Council.
