The following motions were put forward by R.Walsh:a) that the annual subscription for 2005 and 2006 be US$2.00 perphysician anaesthetist of each national member societyb) that the annual subscription from 2007 onwards be USD2.50 perphysician anaesthetist of each national member society.Active discussions took place with the emphasis on the hardship for national member societies from theless affluent or even poorer countries to raise the required amount of money. Some suggested that theannual subscriptions should be based on the financial capabilities of the individual national societies.Others suggested that the more affluent national societies could assist their neighbouring nationalmember societies who may encounter difficulties in paying the WFSA annual subscriptions.On the proposal of the President, the General Assembly agreed to defer the decision on the motions tothe 2 nd General Assembly.A.Meursing appealed to the national societies to declare their true membership numbers in their annualsurvey to WFSA.11. Report of the WFSA Committee on Statutes & BylawsDavid Wilkinson presented his report.
