x. PROVISIONS FOR MODIFICATION OF THE CHARTER

1. Proposals for revision of the Charter can be raised by any member at any time.

2. Final revisions to the mcc Charter can only be made after discussion of revisions
have occurred at two consecutive regularly scheduled meetings. This procedure will
allow time for members to deliberate and consult other parties as appropriate. If an
agreement cannot be reached in two meetings, a third may be allowed.

3. When revising the mcC's Charter, the Committee will first use a decision
making process similar to the one described above for review and approval of
compacts or agreements between Basin Roundtables or other concerned parties.
The process will seek to identify and positively affirm a broad general level of
support for or approval of a proposed change to the Charter by all Committee
members. An agreement will be considered to have been reached when either the
facilitator or a group member has articulated the proposed change in the Charter,
and all mcc members either verbally affirm their support for it, or at a minimum
agree not to actively oppose or subvert it.

4. When a decision is being made using the above process, any mcc member may
request a non-binding poll of Committee members to determine their views on the
proposed change to the Charter.

5. If the mcc cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement on a proposed change
to the Charter, Committee members will use the following procedure. After a
complete discussion of issue(s) in question has occurred at two or more mcc
meetings, and all members have had an opportunity to consult their Basin
Roundtables and been given a fair opportunity to present their views and be heard,
the Committee may change its decision making process from one seeking broad
support for or agreement on a proposal, to a majority/minority vote. The shift
from one decision making procedure to another will require a 75% or greater
majority of mcc members present at the meeting in favor of the shift. All mcc
members must have been given the opportunity to be present at the meeting at
which the vote to shift decision making procedures is taken, and properly notified
of the proposed change.

6. If a 75% majority of mcc members present at the meeting do not approve a shift
in the decision making procedure, the charter modification under consideration
