Proceedings of Board
11 Proceedings of Board
The Governor will appoint a member of the Board to preside at meetings of the Board.
In the absence of the person appointed under subsection (1) from a meeting of the Board, a member chosen by those present will preside.
A quorum of the Board consists of half of the total number of its members (ignoring any fraction resulting from the division) plus one and no business may be transacted at such a meeting unless a quorum is present.
Subject to subsection (3), the Board may act despite vacancies in its membership or a defect in appointment of a member.
A decision carried by a majority of the votes cast by the members present at a meeting is a decision of the Board.
Each member present at a meeting of the Board has one vote on a matter arising for decision and, if the votes are equal, the member presiding at the meeting may exercise a casting vote.
A telephone or video conference between members will, for the purposes of this section, be taken to be a meeting of the Board at which the participating members are present.
A proposed resolution of the Board becomes a valid decision of the Board despite the fact that it is not voted on at a meeting of the Board if—
notice of the proposed resolution is given to all members in accordance with procedures determined by the Board; and
a majority of the members express their concurrence in the proposed resolution by letter, facsimile transmission, e-mail or other written communication setting out the terms of the resolution.
The Board must have accurate minutes kept of its proceedings and make them available to all members of the Board.
A person who is not a member of the Board may be present during a meeting with the consent of the Board but not otherwise.
Subject to this Act, the Board may determine its own procedures.
