     2.   The Trusteeship Council should be composed
of persons of special competence designated (a) on
each by states and international mixed commissions
administering trust territories and (b) on each by
an equal number of other states named for three-year
periods by the General Assembly.  Decisions by the 
Trusteeship Council should be taken by a majority of 
those present and voting.  The Trusteeship Council
should make arrangements for representatives of
appropriate specialized organization or agencies to
participate in its deliberations, their votes being
recorded but not counted.
 
     3.   There should be attached to the Trusteeship
Council a permanent secretariat of experts, with
adequate fact-finding powers, to provide technical
advice and assistance to the Trusteeship Council and
to the General Assembly upon its request.
 
     4.   The administering authority over each trust 
territory should be a state or a specially constituted
international mixed commission.  Each territory admin-
istered under a mandate, except the islands formerly
administered by Japan and mandated territories which
shall have achieved their trusteeship arrangements by 
administered under these trusteeship arrangements by
the state which now administers it, unless in a
particular case or cases some other disposal is made
by the Organization.
 
     5.   Each territory should be governed in accord-
ance with a territorial charter, which should constitute
the fundamental law of the territory defining the rights
and obligations of the parties concerned.  Each charter
should be so drawn as to take into account the special 
circumstances of each territory.
