In other cases, one or more individuals might wish to express a <br />minority opinion, which shall be entered into the minutes of the meeting, but the item under <br />discussion shall then move forward anyway. If consensus in not reached on an issue, then upon <br />the motion of any member, the issue shall be placed to a vote of the Roundtable membership. <br />Any matter submi tted to a vote of the membership of the Roundtable shall be submitted as a <br />motion and shall be deemed to have passed if such motion receives the favorable vote of two - <br />thirds (2/3rds) of the voting membership of the Roundtable, i.e., if there are at least 1 6 votes cast <br />in favor of the motion, EXCEPT for (i) the election of Members to fill the positions described in <br />Paragraphs 14 through 26 of Section 1 of Article II above, and (ii) the election of the two <br />representatives from the Roundtable to the IBCC as de scribed in Section 2 of Article XII below, <br />in which such Members or Representatives shall be elected by a majority vote of the Members of <br />the Roundtable present at the meeting at which such election occurs.. <br /> <br /> ARTICLE VIII - COMMITTEES <br /> <br /> SECTION 1 - Sta nding Committees.
