Decision-making by the Executive Committee

2.12 In accordance with Section 28A (8) it is the duty of the Chairmen of the Executive Committee to seek to secure that decisions of the Executive Committee are reached by consensus wherever possible: if consensus cannot be reached, a vote may be taken, and if any three members of the Executive Committee require the vote on a particular matter which is to be voted on by the Executive Committee to require cross community support, any vote on that matter in the Executive Committee shall require cross community support in the Executive Committee. ”Cross community support” shall have the same meaning as set out in Section 4(5) of the Act. A quorum of seven members will be required for any vote. The requirement for cross-community support must be requested prior to a vote actually commencing.
