REF STATE 179138
¶1. (U) This requests clarification of paragraph 4 of
instructions (ref),which asks USDEL to call for votes.
UNESCO Rule 52 provides that "voting shall normally be
by show of hands." UNESCO Rule 53 allows a member
state to call for a roll-call vote, with the vote of
each state recorded in the summary proceeding.
¶2. Please clarify if USDEL should request a roll call
vote rather than the usual show of hands.
