"Final report of the Special Commission on Orthodox participation in the WCC" : The 60-member Special Commission was created by the WCC's eighth assembly in 1998 in response to mainly Orthodox concerns about participation in the Council. Composed of an equal number of representatives from Orthodox churches and from the other churches belonging to the WCC, the Commission submitted its final report to the central committee in September 2002.

Die Achte ÖRK-Vollversammlung erörterte 1998 einen Vorschlag zur Bildung eines Forums christlicher Kirchen und ökumenischer Organisationen, das Kirchen zusammenführen sollte, die sich an der ökumenischen Bewegung beteiligen, d. h. ÖRK-Mitgliedskirchen, die römisch-katholische Kirche, andere Kirchen und die evangelikalen, pfingstlerischen und unabhängigen Kirchen sowie ökumenische und kirchennahe Gruppen.

The WCC's eighth Assembly in 1998 discussed a proposal for a forum of Christian churches and ecumenical organizations that would bring together churches participating in the ecumenical movement, e.g. WCC member churches, the Catholic church, other churches, and Evangelical, Pentecostal and Independent churches, as well as ecumenical and para-church organizations.

La Octava Asamblea del CMI (1998) debatió la propuesta de crear un Foro de Iglesias Cristianas y de Organizaciones Ecuménicas, que reuniría a las iglesias que participan en el movimiento ecuménico, como las iglesias miembros del CMI, la Iglesia Católica, otras iglesias y las iglesias evangélicas, pentecostales e independientes, así como a organizaciones ecuménicas y organizaciones relacionadas con las iglesias.

La Huitième Assemblée du COE, réunie en 1998, a discuté une proposition de forum d'Eglises chrétiennes et d'organisations oecuméniques qui réunirait des Eglises participant au mouvement oecuméniques, telles que les Eglises membres du COE, l'Eglise catholique romaine, d'autres Eglises, les Eglises évangéliques, pentecôtistes et indépendantes, de même que des organisations oecuméniques para-ecclésiales.

These guidelines - covering the roles of moderators, delegates and participants; setting the agenda; making decisions by consensus and by formal vote; election process; language and other elements - apply to the Assembly and to meetings of all bodies of the WCC.

The WCC's constitution identifies the basis for, and the principles of membership, the purposes and functions, authority, and organization of the Council. Its rules give precise guidance concerning the roles, responsibilities and structure of the Council's various governing bodies, officers, committees, staff and partner organizations, the role of public statements, and the conduct of meetings. The constitution and rules will be submitted to the Assembly for amendment.
