The quotas in the IBPCT are based on the amount of commerce of the various states. The quotas of the ITC are intended to be based on the standard tonnages in the agreement. The quotas in the IWC are supposed to be proportioned according to the number of votes held. The contributions of the IHB are a flat fee plus a supplement based on the maritime importance or tonnage of the member states. The UNWCC has a flat fee for operating costs and quotas for additional expenses are based on ability to pay. Until recently the ICW was financed from private sources, the PAU furnishing office space and materials. The population quotas in the III are supplemented for states with larger Indian population by additional units equivalent to 50 per cent of those otherwise assigned to them. Dues in ISTA vary according to the number of votes determined by the importance of the station.
