The Assembly. The Assembly shall hold a regular session once every two years following Article VII of the Agreement. The sessions will be presided by the Director of the EPLO, who shall not, however, count for the quorum or the majority. The members of the Board of Directors with their alternates representing states or international organizations shall also act as the members of the Assembly, unless otherwise decided by a given party. The members of the Assembly shall serve until their appointment is revoked. The Assembly shall be convened at the invitation of the Director or upon the initiative of one third of the members of the Assembly with full vote. The representatives in the Board of Directors of the states or the international organizations participating in the Assembly with full vote may decide, on the occasion of a meeting of the Board, that they are satisfied and that therefore it is not necessary to convene the Assembly for its regular session. The Director is responsible for fixing the time of the Assembly sessions. Members with full vote who did not reply at all to the invitation for the Assembly meeting, members who have not been appointed by the participating institution, or members with consultative vote shall not count in the quorum and the majority. Members may decide to participate through a proxy, who shall be one of the other members of the Assembly or the Director, or by correspondence or teleconference or videoconference. Those members count in the quorum and the majority. At any meeting of the Assembly, attempts should be made to secure a consensus on a proposal in lieu of taking a vote thereon. Decisions may be adopted by a majority of the votes cast without a formal meeting of the Assembly, provided that all Members of the Assembly with full vote in the Assembly are given at least seven (7) days notice. This procedure will be valid also if organized and executed through electronic means. Members who do not express their opinion within seven (7) days from the day the Agenda, the issues and the appropriate documentation are sent to them, are meant to have voted positively. The Members of the Assembly shall be responsible for all costs and allowances of their representatives in connection with travel to and from and attendance at meetings of the Assembly. The Assembly may authorize any other organ of the EPLO to exercise part of its powers.
