The Security Council noted that Secretary-General Kofi Annan had decided to postpone the East Timor Special Autonomy Referendum until 30 August 1999 for technical reasons, and extended UNAMET's mandate accordingly.[2] He stated that "as well as a delay in the start of voter registration, UNAMET needed more time to collate the list of voters, publicise it and allow for an appeals procedure".[1]
