Making Recommendations Clause Samples

Making Recommendations. 2.6.1 In attempting to reach consensus, the CDMT will operate as a committee of the whole. The CDMT will reach consensus when 12 members agree with a recommendation or are not opposed to a recommendation (a “thumbs up” or “thumbs sideways” vote). CDMT recommendations are arrived at through a process of full discussion in which each member has an equal voice and responsibility. In consensus, and after a recommendation is reached, all members agree to support the decision. 2.6.2 The CDMT and its Task Forces will make recommendations through consensus. Consensus shall be defined as no less than 70% of the members in agreement or not opposed to the recommendation. If consensus cannot be reached, the CDMT and its Task Forces will report key points from multiple perspectives to the Board. 2.6.3 To most effectively arrive at recommendations, the CDMT and task force members will: 1. Ensure they understand the District key strategies. 2. Ensure they understand the concerns, priorities, and interests of the others involved. 3. Identify criteria and standards for evaluating available alternatives. 4. Develop alternatives to address the identified concerns. 5. Review and evaluate the available alternatives and identify the recommended course of action. 6. Develop an ATU that can be reviewed and acted upon by the Board and all employees. 7. Agree, if consensus cannot be reached, to consider options such as temporarily continuing current practice, gathering more information, extending time lines, or recommending an interim solution or outside consultation. 2.6.4 The above procedure may be altered as deemed appropriate by the CDMT.
