Currently, free trade in goods between the islands and the EU is dependent on the UK's membership of the bloc, which will end once it leaves.
If approved by deputies on 27 February, it means Guernsey, Alderney and Sark - through the UK's membership of the WTO - will be part of a group of 164 countries which negotiate the rules of international trade.
WTO members do not have free trade agreements with each other, but trade in goods, services and intellectual property under "WTO rules", applying their own tariffs.
Extending the UK's membership would be an "important step" for the Bailiwick economy, Guernsey's Policy and Resources Committee says.
The weather front that brought rain earlier on Monday will clear to the east through the evening, resulting in a dry night with partly cloudy skies and some clear spells.
South-west winds will be light again.
Minimum temperature: 5 to 8C (41 to 46F).
Tuesday will see a dry and bright start with some early spells of sunshine. Thereafter, a dry day with partly cloudy skies and further sunny spells.
Maximum temperature: 7 to 10C (45 to 50F).

BBC News Online
People in Jersey will be asked for their thoughts on assisted dying, the island's chief minister has said.
Jersey chief minister John Le Fondré said: "This is a sensitive and challenging subject, and we need to understand not only the ethical, legal and social consequences, but also any potential ramifications on our relationship with the UK.
"Once we have a better understanding of the research already carried out by neighbouring jurisdictions, we will proceed to a public consultation on the options and their implications."

Jersey Reds director of rugby Harvey Biljon says he is impressed with his team's efforts as they won at Yorkshire Carnegie for the first time in the Championship.
The 28-10 win at Headingley says Leeroy Van Dam and James Newey cross before half time, before Newey and Brett Herron scored second-half tries to secure a bonus point and move the islanders back up to fourth place in the Championship.
"As a group, if you look at the bigger picture, having come off a last-minute loss against the Cornish Pirates and then last weekend not being where we should have been, the way the players responded, they were calm, they identified key areas that they needed to make improvements in, and fair play to them they went out there and did that," Biljon told BBC Radio Jersey.

BBC Radio Jersey
A £60m watersports park - the largest in Europe - could be built in Jersey.

Business consultant Paul Mundy, who has drawn up the plans, said it would be a draw for tourists - and would build on Jersey's maritime history.
Senator Steve Pallett - the minister responsible for sport in the island - said he supported the scheme.
He said he would listen to people's opinions on the idea and there would need to be a feasibility study before a planning application could be completed.

Bricks from an historic kiln in Guernsey that's been emptied are being offered to interested locals.
The kiln at Brickfield House is a protected monument and was emptied last month in order to allow surveyors to complete a structural survey report.
This is set to provide a basis for a conservation plan to be drawn up in order to protect the kiln and maintain its structural integrity for future generations, Guernsey Water said.
Guernsey WaterCopyright: Guernsey Water
Originally constructed in 1927, replacing an earlier bottle kiln on the site owned by the Best family, the kiln remained in use until 1947 - when it was filled with bricks for the last time.
Any islanders interested in owning a little bit of island history are invited to collect a "Best brick" from Guernsey Water’s Brickfield House site in St Andrews on 23 February.
Quote Message: Although we will be keeping 1,000 bricks for conservation and local heritage purposes, we thought this was a great opportunity to share some local interest with islanders." from Mark Walker Guernsey Water

Guernsey Water added the bricks are unfired and are therefore "fairly fragile" and unsuitable for any building purposes.

'Check your speed' warning after eight caught in Guernsey
There are proposals from Guernsey's most senior committee to introduce more controls on personal injury claims.
Currently, any personal injury award is open-ended and therefore the amount of any claim could be uncertain for the insurer - something the Policy and Resources Committee wants to reduce.
BBCCopyright: BBC
One local insurer told the BBC a benefit that was uncertain and had to be paid upfront as a lump sum was likely to make an insurer "reluctant" to offer coverage.
Or, if they did, they would charge a very high premium.
Policy and Resources wants to bring in two measures to reduce this uncertainty:
Payments can be made on a regular basis rather than as an upfront lump sum
The calculation of any lump sum would utilise an agreed discount rate so the insurer would know when setting the price of cover how any benefit would be calculated
It was hoped this would bring more insurers into the market for Guernsey cases - bringing down the cost of cover, the States said.

BBC News Online
Guernsey politicians will be asked to extend the UK's membership of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to the Bailiwick.
The move will offset some "major risks" if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, proposals lodged by the island's senior political committee say.
Currently, free trade in goods between the islands and the EU is dependent on the UK's membership of the bloc, which will end once it leaves.
If approved by deputies on 27 February, it means Guernsey, Alderney and Sark - through the UK's membership of the WTO - will be part of a group of 164 countries which negotiate the rules of international trade.
