Extract

The 26th meeting of the Caribbean Commission was held in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, May 28 to June 2, 1958. Speakers at the meeting extended congratulations and best wishes to the new Federation of The West Indies. The Commission decided to invite its member governments to establish an ad hoc committee to make preparations for a full-scale Conference to Revise the Agreement Establishing the Commission. The contemplated revision was intended to improve the Commission and to make it more efficient as an instrument of regional cooperation. The provisional agenda for this ad hoc committee, accepted by the Commission, read as follows: 1) problems relating to the functions, structure, and working methods of a successor organization for the Caribbean Commission; 2) preliminary draft of such agreement setting up such a successor organization; 3) budget estimates and apportionment of budget; 4) rules of procedure for the Revision Conference; and 5) report and findings. A suggestion was made during the meeting that financial assistance should be afforded delegates from smaller territories to permit attendance at conferences or seminars sponsored by the Commission, when necessary.
