Article 15 explained in plain English

This Article sets out the rules for meetings of the Executive Board of the Consumer Protection Association.

Meeting dates:

  • A regular meeting every two months.
  • Extraordinary meetings when needed, called by the Chairman of the Board or at the request of one third of the members.

Validity of the meeting: it is valid if a majority of the Board members attend, and a member may not delegate another member to attend or vote.

Decisions: they are issued by a majority of the votes of those present, and in case of a tie the vote of the person chairing the meeting is the casting vote.

Note that the casting vote belongs to the "person chairing the meeting", whoever actually chairs it, and the Article does not say who chairs when the Chairman of the Board is absent. Nor does it specify how the invitation is sent or how much notice is given before a meeting.

These rules relate to Article 14, which makes the Board responsible for managing the Association's affairs and preparing its regulations; regular meetings and valid decisions are a condition for exercising those competences.
