C. Exceptional Forms of PaymentThe General Secretariat may negotiate arrangements with member states that are “not current” for the payment in national currency, real estate, or other valuable assets, of quotas more than five years in arrears. Those arrangements shall enter into force only upon approval by the Permanent Council, upon the advice of its Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Affairs, and only upon a determination that: a. In the case of national currency or other valuable assets, the General Secretariat will not be financially prejudiced by the acceptance of that currency or assets; and b. In the case of real estate, the General Secretariat will, over a reasonable time, earn income or generate savings from the property in occupancy, use, sale, or rental of the property in an amount equal to or greater than the corresponding arrears. D. Transitory Provision for Member States More than Five Years in Arrears 1. Member states in arrears for more than five years as of December 31, 1999, shall be “considered current” until December 31, 2002, provided they do all of the following: a. Pay the quotas for the 2000 fiscal period by August 31, 2000, or otherwise enter into a payment plan with the General Secretariat by that same date for the payment of those quotas by December 31, 2000. b. Enter into a payment plan with the Secretariat by August 31, 2000, to pay by December 31, 2002, the quotas owed for the 1998 and 1999 fiscal periods. c. Enter into a payment plan with the General Secretariat by December 31, 2000, for the payment of the amounts owed for fiscal years prior to 1998, and if that plan involves payments in local currency or real estate, obtain the necessary approval of the Permanent Council by that date. This payment plan must provide for a final payment of those amounts owed no later than December 31, 2005. d. Pay the quotas for the 2001 fiscal period by April 30, 2001, or otherwise enter into a payment plan with the General Secretariat by that same date for the payment of those quotas by December 31, 2001. e. Pay the quotas for the 2002 fiscal period by April 30, 2002, or otherwise enter into a payment plan with the General Secretariat by that same date for the payment of those quotas by December 31, 2002. f. Remain in compliance with the foregoing payment plans. 2. For purposes of facilitating compliance with the requirements of the foregoing section, member states wishing to qualify as "considered current" under that provision may designate the percentage of each payment made which they wish to have credited to the current fiscal period and, as a special exception to Article 103 of the General Standards permitted hereunder, the General Secretariat will credit that payment in accordance with the member state's designation.
4. Member states that have agreed to payment plans with the General Secretariat for the payment of past due quotas prior to the adoption of this resolution and which are in compliance with these plans on the date of this resolution shall be “considered current” for as long as they remain in compliance.
