### Background and context
- The IMFC in its April 2010 Communiqué pledged to complete the 14th Quota Review before January 2011 in line with the parameters agreed in Istanbul.
- The Committee of the Whole (COW) has continued work to develop proposals that could command broad support.
- At the COW meeting in September there was a shared commitment to reaching an agreement within the agreed timetable, but views remained divided on many issues.

### Purpose of the paper
- To suggest possible elements that could help form the basis for an agreement on the 14th Quota Review.
- To build on the discussions to date and balance the diverse views that have been expressed.
- To facilitate progress towards the agreed goal of completing the Review before January 2011.

### Key observations and character of the proposals
- The suggested elements are intended to facilitate compromise and progress; they are not presented as final or fully satisfactory to any individual member.
- The paper recognizes that difficult compromises will be required from all sides if an agreement is to be reached.
