		I have not been able to find any trace of that Commission, but the Anglo-French Condominium on the archipelago was established in 1906, so the Commission might have been a bipartite authority which solved the problem of the attribution of the archipelago (which was the last "non-attributed" oceanian territory.).
		I don't know about the French flag during the condominium (probably something straight-forward and logical like the Tricolour), but the British was something like this.
		In 1906 the condominium was established and a British Resident Commissioner appointed.

		For the French, it was necessary to ensure that this evolution did not orientate New Caledonia in an undesirable direction, secondly that it did not adversely affect the rights of French settlers over their land, and thirdly that the French language should not decline in a geographical area where English predominated.
		The Condominium even envisaged jointly financed re-purchase from planters of land, which had been legally registered, but not developed, or was essential to the subsistence of neighbouring villages.
		On the other hand, the establishment by French settlers on the island of Efate of a municipality called "Franceville", which took unto itself full administrative, fiscal and judicial powers, and was even represented in Melbourne, could not fail to arouse strong public feeling in Australia.

		Not only had they to come to terms with inevitable change, but the whole condominium system of co-operation and joint action with their French colleagues, which they had operated as loyally as circumstances would permit, fell apart under the pressure of events and was replaced by the power game of politics and mutual metropolitan misunderstanding.
		These "Representatives" occupied the old French District Agents' houses and offices, and, (since they were usually the same people) continued to exercise much the same functions, and to be regarded by the people of their districts in much the same way as before.
		An earlier attempt to have the French and British Police Mobile units deployed in Santo had failed, when both had set sail in their respective Residency boats, only to have the French unit ordered, by my colleague, to return to Port Vila when halfway to Luganville, on the ground that they were no longer needed.

		The violent and lawless three way struggle between the English, the French and the exploited Melanesians continued until 1906 when an Anglo-French Condominium was established to block German expansion in the region.
