Decision Making

6.1 Administrative Decisions. So long as a quorum is present, decisions regarding administrative business
of the mcc may be made by supermajority (75%) vote. Administrative decisions include approval of
agenda and meeting notes, scheduling of future meetings, and setting aside issues for discussion at a
later date.

6.2 Review of Compacts or Other Agreements. The IDCC shall review compacts or other agreements
submitted by the Basin Roundtables in accordance with the framework outlined in the mcc Charter.

6.3 Broad General Level of Support. So long as a quorum is present, decisions regarding all other business
of the IDCC will be made by seeking to identify and positively affirm a broad general level of support
for or approval of the issue or proposal in question by all Committee members present at the meeting.
An agreement will be considered to have been reached when either the facilitator or a group member has
articulated the proposed agreement, and all !BCC members either verbally affirm their support for it, or
at a minimum agree not to actively oppose or subvert it. The above process does not require all
Committee members to support a proposal or ultimate agreement to the same degree for an agreement to
have been reached. Some members may strongly endorse a proposal, while others may believe it to be
not ideal, but ultimately workable and acceptable.
