Committees of the Conference

At the second plenary session of the Conference, held November 2, 1944, it was agreed, at the request of Canada, that the Committee on Multilateral Aviation Convention and International Aeronautical Body be renumbered Committee I, instead of Committee III, as originally proposed by the United States. The following day an organizing meeting of Committee I was held, and three subcommittees established: Subcommittee 1, International Organization; Subcommittee 2, Air Navigation Principles; and Subcommittee 3, Air Transportation Principles.

 

At the outset there were four basic proposals before Committee I, by the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, the first two of which were in the form of draft conventions. The steering committee of Committee I, composed of the chairman, John Martin (Union of South Africa), and the respective chairmen of the three subcommittees - Viscount Alain du Parc (Belgium), L. Welch Pogue (U.S.), and H. J. Symington (Canada) - recommended, and the subcommittees agreed, to use the Canadian draft convention as the basis of discussion in Subcommittees 1 and 3 and the United States draft as the basis of discussion in Subcommittee 2.
