| (1) | The Authority or any committee must endeavour to reach consensus on any matter that requires resolution. |
| (2) | If consensus cannot be reached on any matter after sincere endeavours to do so, a decision of the majority of members present and voting at a meeting constitutes the resolution on that matter by the Authority or any committee, as the case may be. |
| (3) | Any report or advice of the Authority or any committee which reflects a resolution that was not reached by consensus, must reflect— |
| (a) | the different views of the members on the matter so resolved; and |
| (b) | which members supported each view. |
| (4) | No resolution nor any act authorised by the Authority or any committee is invalid merely because of a vacancy on the Authority or that committee or because any person not entitled to sit as a member sat at such meeting at the time the resolution was taken or the act was authorised if a quorum was constituted by the rest of the members present at the meeting and entitled to sit as members at the meeting. |
| (5) | The chairperson of a committee has no voting right. |
