There were 411 registered participants at the IUPAC General Assembly.

and 98 were Council Delegates. The individual totals are greater than
the overall total because a number of Delegates were also Members of
IUPAC bodies. A summary of the actions taken by the Council and Bureau
follows, including the results of the elections for IUPAC Officers and
Bureau Members.
