• Interbasin CC - Doc Type: Charter

agreement cannot be reached in two meetings, a third may be
allowed.

3. When revising the IBCC’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. Th e process will seek to
identif y and positively affirm a broad general level of support for
or approval of a propos ed change to the Charter by all
Committee members. An agreement will be considered to have
been reached when either the facilitator or a grou p member has
articulated the proposed change in the Charter , and all IBCC
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

IBCC me mber may request a non - binding poll of Committee
members to determine their views on the proposed change to
the Charter .

5. If the IBCC cannot reach a mutually acceptable agreement on a

proposed change to the Charter , Committee members will use
the followi ng procedure. After a complete discussion of issue(s)
in question has occurred at t wo or more IBCC 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 IBCC member s present at the
meeting in favor of the shift . A ll IBCC 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 IBCC members present at the meeting do

not approve a shift in the decision making proce dure , the charter
modification under consideration may be dropped . Alternatively,
the IBCC may c ontinue to discuss the proposed change with the
goal of deve loping either a broad level of support for it or
another mutually acceptable option , or the issue may be
deferred until such time as a 75% majority of C ommittee
members agree to change the decision making process.
