South Australian Skills Act 2008

The Commissioner will preside at each meeting of the Commission at which the Commissioner is present.

The Minister may appoint a member to preside at meetings of the

Commission in the absence of the Commissioner.

If the Commissioner is absent from a meeting of the Commission, the following provisions apply:

if another member has been appointed to chair meetings in the absence of the Commissioner and is present at the meeting—that member will preside at the meeting;

in any other case—a member chosen by the members present at the meeting will preside at the meeting.

A quorum of the Commission consists of half of the total number of its members (ignoring any fraction resulting from the division) plus 1.

A decision carried by a majority of the votes cast by members at a meeting is a decision of the Commission.

Each member present at a meeting of the Commission has

1 vote on any question 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 Commission at which the participating members are present.

A proposed resolution of the Commission becomes a valid decision of the Commission despite the fact that it is not voted on at a meeting of the

Commission if—

notice of the proposed resolution is given to all members in accordance with procedures determined by the Commission; and

a majority of the members express their concurrence in the proposed resolution by letter, fax or other written communication setting out the terms of the resolution.

The Commission must cause accurate minutes to be kept of its proceedings.

Subject to this Act and to any direction of the Commissioner, the

Commission may determine its own procedures.

Subject to the directions of the Commission, this section applies to a committee of the Commission in the same way as to the

Commission.
