Making Decisions Clause Samples
The "Making Decisions" clause outlines the process by which parties involved in an agreement will reach decisions on matters that arise during their relationship. Typically, this clause specifies who has authority to make decisions, whether decisions require unanimous consent, a majority vote, or another method, and may detail procedures for resolving disagreements. By clearly defining the decision-making process, this clause helps prevent disputes and ensures that actions can be taken efficiently and with proper authorization.

Making Decisions a. Consensus: A consensus of the entire group present at any meeting will first be attempted, to see if everyone can live with the proposed decision. If that is not possible, decisions can be made over the dissent of a maximum of one person from each side present at the meeting. If more than one person from each side dissents, there is not a decision. (One person saying “no” does get paid attention to.)
b. Decisions of the group will be supported by everyone in the group. No one person’s opinion will be identified outside the group.
Making Decisions. Decisions regarding the development of our CHR will all be made at Steering Group or Working Group meetings. The Steering Group will comprise of representatives from each of the partner organisations – up to a maximum of four representatives per organisation. Each of the CHR partners commits to always having at least one representative in attendance at Steering Group meetings. At key stages throughout the process we will open up attendance at the Steering Group to include Committee Members, in order to keep Committees involved in the process. When decisions require to be taken at Steering Group meetings, we will aim to make decisions on a consensual basis. However, we recognise that there will be occasions where views differ and a decision will require to be made on the basis of a vote. In these circumstances, each partner present will have one vote. On the rare occasion where partners are unable to send any representative, they will be allowed to inform the facilitator of the meeting (CHR Co-ordinator/ lead partner) of their position on issues, and their vote lodged in this way. This cannot be done more than once a year, and thereafter partners not in attendance will forfeit their right to vote. Where a vote is tied, the vote of all five partners will be sought in order to resolve the issue. The Steering Group may delegate responsibility for some decisions to ‘Working Groups’ focussed on particular issues. Decisions at Working Groups will be taken on the same basis as Steering Group decisions. When delegating responsibility, the Steering Group will produce a written statement of delegated authority, which states the matters for which the Working Group will have responsibility, and the Steering Group’s commitment to abide by Working Group decisions. We commit to working together to develop a Common Housing Register in Argyll and Bute by May 2006. This CHR will involve co-ordinated, holistic housing information and advice provision; a common database of applicants and a common form for gathering applicant data. The CHR will be developed through an equal partnership between all participating organisations.
