In discussing the options proposed by the Secretary, the Executive Council was of the view that the matter required further consideration, taking into account other planned important conferences around the two options :

(i) 28 February - 9 March 1994; and, (ii) 20 - 30 October 1994, aiso considering the consequences for possible alternative dates under consideration for the Eighteenth Session of the Assembly in 1995 (13-25 March 1995 and 20 June-5 July 1995).
