One idea that has been mentioned is for the Council to meet more frequently for short, focused meetings on high-priority topics, as the need arises.

In light of the increasing threat of proliferation, both by States and by terrorists, one idea that may now be worth serious consideration is the advisability of limiting the processing of weapon-usable material -- that is, separated plutonium and high enriched uranium -- in civilian nuclear programmes, as well as the production of new material through reprocessing and enrichment, by agreeing to restrict those operations exclusively to facilities under multinational control.
