The third ICAO assembly was held in Montreal from June 7 to 20 and considered an agenda limited to financial and administrative questions. An Administrative Commission was established with a Contributions Working Group and a Budget Working Group to study the finances for 1950. The Assembly adopted a budget of $2,810,607 which provided about the same financial level for 1950 as had been given for 1949. This permitted the continuance of the working program on the same scale as before but allowed no room for expansion. The Assembly further approved a resolution authorizing the Secretary-General to accept a part of contributions in other currencies than Canadian dollars and agreed on a scale of contributions for 1950. Sanctions, consisting of suspension of voting power in the Assembly, Council and their subsidiary bodies, but not regional meetings, were imposed on Bolivia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Poland and Jordan because they were delinquent in contributions for a period exceeding two years. The Council was to discuss with defaulting states the whole question of their position in relation to the organization and, if possible, to secure the payment of outstanding contributions by such arrangements as might be mutually satisfactory. If a settlement was not made, the Council was to consider other possible courses of action and submit its recommendations to the fourth assembly.
