Schedules

Schedule 7 : Constitution of Mining Qualifications Authority

18. Resolution of Meeting

 

(1) The Authority or any committee must endeavour to reach consensus on any matter that requires resolution.

 

(2) If consensus cannot be reached on any matter after sincere endeavours to do so, a decision of the majority of members present and voting at a meeting constitutes the resolution on that matter by the Authority or any committee, as the case may be.

 

(3) Any report or advice of the Authority or any committee which reflects a resolution that was not reached by consensus, must reflect—
(a) the different views of the members on the matter so resolved; and
(b) which members supported each view.

 

(4) No resolution nor any act authorised by the Authority or any committee is invalid merely because of a vacancy on the Authority or that committee or because any person not entitled to sit as a member sat at such meeting at the time the resolution was taken or the act was authorised if a quorum was constituted by the rest of the members present at the meeting and entitled to sit as members at the meeting.

 

(5) The chairperson of a committee has no voting right.
