Howard Shaw, Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, United States. Mrs. Catt
announced that a delegate from Germany, Miss Antonie Stolle; one from
Chile, Miss Carolina Huidobro, and one from Sweden, Mrs. Emmy Evald,
would arrive later. A committee of five was appointed to consider a
plan for international cooperation--Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Avery, Miss
Stolle, Mrs. Drewson, Miss Goldstein. At another session its
recommendations were read and adopted as follows:

1. That it is desirable to form an International Woman Suffrage
Committee for the purpose of acting as a central bureau for the
collection, exchange and dissemination of information concerning the
methods of suffrage work and the general status of women in the
various countries having representation on the committee.

2. That the delegates to the conference be instructed to ask their
respective societies to appoint three representatives to act on such a
committee.

3. That in the event of societies declining to cooperate, the
delegates be authorized to form a separate International Committee in
their respective countries.

4. That the secretary of the International Committee be instructed to
communicate with known suffragists in countries not represented in
this conference and to recommend cooperation with the international
organization....

The delegates were unanimously of the opinion that the above temporary
form of organization would result in most satisfactory international
cooperation. It was held that each nation should be given free
opportunity to aid in the forming of the permanent organization and
that the present needs would be best served by a temporary
International Committee. It was agreed that the next International
Woman Suffrage Conference should be called in Berlin in 1904, in
connection with the Quinquennial Meeting of the International Council
of Women, and that meantime each nation should be asked to consider
this movement and send delegates fully instructed as to the best form
of a permanent international organization.

Miss Anthony was elected permanent chairman; Mrs. Catt, secretary;
Mrs. Fenwick Miller, treasurer. Mrs. Catt moved that as an
International Association was not yet permanently organized, each
country should be asked to contribute something toward the general
