They will be assisted by a permanent Secretary.
The Assembly will be composed of not more than three representatives for each member of the League, who will have the right to one vote only.
The Assembly may deal at its meetings with any matter within the sphere of action of the League or affecting the peace of the world.
The Council shall consist, at present, of representatives of the principal Allied and Associated Powers, together with representatives of four other members of the League, as follows: one representative of the United States, one of the British Empire, one of France, one of Italy and one of Japan; and four other members who, until new appointments are made by the Assembly, will be representatives of Belgium, Brazil, Spain and Greece.
Since the Covenant of the League has not been approved by the Senate of the United States, that Power has not had the stated representation, and the meetings of the Council have taken place with the other eight members.
The Assembly and the Council shall decide (as a rule) by the unanimous vote of all the members represented at the meeting.
All matters of procedure (appointment of investigation committees, etc.) will be decided by a majority vote.
