 | Subsidiary motions, except to lay on the table, the previous question, and postpone indefinitely, may be amended. |
 | The motion to amend anything that has already been adopted, as by-laws or minutes, is not a subsidiary motion but is a main motion and can be laid on the table or have applied to it any other subsidiary motion without affecting the by-laws or minutes, because the latter are not pending. |
 | The subsidiary bodies are open to participation by all Parties to the Convention, and governments often send representatives who are experts in the fields of the respective bodies. |
