Due to proportionate representation in the General Council, some
countries may not be able to send one full member to the GC.  For
example Greek  section might be eligible to send only half the
representative to the GC. In such case that country may send one full
member to the GC, but such member shall not have voting rights. Only a
full member should vote.
Reason why all countries should be eligible to send at least one
representative is they can present their unique problems to the GC and
their views will at least be heard.
