4. Differences Between Reserve Units and Gold Tranche Positions
 ...

Extract:
 
"The Bernstein plan does not spell out how positions created proportional to quotas can be held proportional to gold holdings (unless quotas are proportional to gold holdings, which does not appear to be the intention). This point could be resolved by countries trading gold for units among themselves, or by some kind of transitional provisions."
