Notes:
{1}
At the fifth sitting of the Congress on April 14 (27), as it was con
firming the Kazan and Kuban committees as being full-fledged forthwith,
some delegates said that it was undesirable for delegates with voice only
to take part in the voting, as this could have an effect on the results of
this crucial decision.

Inthis connection, Lenin wrote the draft resolution on the procedure
governing the voting of questions at the Congress which was adopted at the
same sitting.
