<br />6.4 Polling. When a decision is being made using the above process, any IBCC member may request a non - <br />binding poll of Committee members to determine their views. Members may voice affirmative support <br />for a proposal or agreement, remain silent and allow the agreement to be approved without objection, or <br />state that a broad general level of agreement has not been reached, and request the committee to <br />continue deliberations. <br /> <br /> <br />6.5 Shift to Voting. If the IBCC cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement, its members will use the <br />following procedure. After a complete discussion of the issue(s) in question has occurred at two or more <br />IBCC meetings, and all members have had an opportunity to consult their Basin Roundtables and been <br />given a fair opp ortunity to present their views and be heard, the Committee may change its decision <br />making process from one seeking broad support for or agreement on an issue or proposal in question, to <br />a majority/minority vote. The shift from one decision making procedur e to another will require a 75% or <br />greater majority of the members attending the meeting in favor of the shift. In addition, all IBCC <br />members must have been given the opportunity to be present at the meeting at which the vote to shift <br />decision making proce dures is taken, and properly notified of the proposed action. If a 75% majority of <br />IBCC members attending the meeting do not approve changing the decision making process, <br />deliberation may continue . <br /> <br /> <br />6.6 Voting as Fallback. If a 75% majority of IBCC members attending the meeting vote to shift the IBCC’s <br />decision making process to voting, a decision by vote may be made at the next regularly scheduled <br />IBCC meeting. An agreement will be considered to have been reached if a 75% majority of IBCC <br />members attending the meeting vote in favor of the proposal on the table. All IBCC members must have <br />been given the opportunity to be present at the meeting at which the vote is taken, and properly notified <br />of the proposed action. Following the vote, majority and minority r eports will be prepared. Reports will <br />indicate the number of IBCC members that support each view. Reports will be made available to the <br />general public. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Article V II <br />Working Groups <br /> <br /> <br />7.1 Establishment.
