At the suggestion of these two bodies, the French Government convened in Paris in 1900 an International Conference made up of representatives of medical and statistical organisations from the various countries which formally adopted an International Nomenclature and the principle that it should be revised every ten years by a new Conference in Paris (called the International Commission). Revision Conferences took place in 1909, 1920 and 1929. The first two were prepared by Dr, Bertillon himself, and the last by the Health Organisation of the League of Nations and the International Institute of Statistics, at first independently, and then through a Mixed Committee. The Mixed Committee made up of representatives of these two bodies has been entrusted with the preparation of the next Revision Conference by the International Convention of October 1929, which also entrusted the convening of this Conference to the French Government.
