Where Article 9(2) of the Statute provides that a State shall nominate one director and two alternates, the director shall indicate which alternate, in order of priority, is to represent him when he is prevented from attending, failing which the rules laid down in the following paragraph shall apply.\n3. Where Article 9(2) of the Statute provides that several Member States shall each nominate one director and jointly nominate several alternates, the alternate called upon to perform the duties of a director when he is prevented from attending shall be determined, in the absence of an express delegation, in accordance with the following order:\n(a) the alternate determined at the time of the nomination or appointment of the alternates;\n(b) the longest-serving alternate;\n(c) the alternate who is senior in terms of age.\n4. If a director ceases to perform his duties or dies, he shall be replaced by the alternate determined in accordance with the rules provided for in points (a), (b) and (c) of the preceding paragraph until such time as a new director is appointed by the Board of Governors.\n5. Where a director, prevented from attending, is unable to arrange for an alternate to represent him, he may delegate his vote in writing to another member of the Board of Directors.\n6.
