are bound to “remain faithful to approved positions” of the BC.
I believe the existing Charter is perfectly clear and correct in this respect,
and we have suggested the same text in the proposed Charter, section 7.5.

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>I
may be overlooking it, but can you point out where in the new Charter it
explicitly notes that the BC representatives to the Council will vote according
to the wishes of the constituency? As we experienced in Seoul, one of our
representatives declared he is not bound by the view of the constituency and
has a right to vote from his personal perspective. I think everyone
in the BC is of like mind on this matter, i.e., our representative MUST vote
the constituencies position.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
