Decision Making Procedures Clause Samples

The Decision-Making Procedures clause outlines the formal process by which parties make important choices or approvals under an agreement. It typically specifies who has authority to make decisions, how votes are cast or consensus is reached, and any required notice or documentation. For example, it may require a majority vote of a board or written consent from all partners before certain actions can be taken. This clause ensures that all parties understand and follow a clear, agreed-upon method for making significant decisions, thereby reducing confusion and potential disputes.
Decision Making Procedures. 14.1 The Steering Committee shall make all reasonable efforts to achieve agreement by consensus at all times. If consensus cannot be achieved, the Steering Committee may reach a decision in accordance with the procedures described below. The Steering Committee may decide to develop and adopt further rules of procedure where it deems it necessary and may decide to delegate powers where it deems it to be necessary to specific individuals or to sub- committees. 14.2 Where consensus on an issue cannot be achieved in the course of a meeting of the Steering Committee, a call to follow the decision making procedure set out in 14.3 below may be made by the Steering Committee Chair. 14.3 Where a call is made to follow the decision-making procedure set out in this 14.3 a subcommittee shall be appointed to consider the issue and make a recommendation. The subcommittee shall consist of 5 OEM Signatories in the case of matters relating to Sections 5 to 8 of the Voluntary Agreement and shall consist of 5 OEM Signatories and 5 Supporting Signatories in case of matters relating to Section 1 to 4 and 9 to 18 of the Voluntary Agreement. The terms of reference and timeframe for the subcommittee recommendation shall be set by the Steering Committee Chair. 14.4 The subcommittee shall report its recommendation to the Steering Committee in writing within the designated timeline. If the subcommittee is unable to reach an agreement by consensus within the designated timeline the Steering Committee can agree to appoint a mediator to assist the subcommittee in reaching a recommendation and set an extended timeline for the recommendation. 14.5 A recommendation of the subcommittee shall be referred back to the Steering Committee in plenary session, which shall again make all reasonable efforts to achieve agreement by consensus.
