Instead of the three delegates permitted to full and provisional members, observers are only granted one non-voting delegate to observe Council sessions. They also must confirm their continued wish to stay in the LUM every three months, in order to ensure that observer nations wish to actively partake in LUM business as far as is possible and not simply hold the status of observer in a titular fashion.
