Agreement and Disputes. Core Partners will reach agreement by consensus on decisions to be taken. There may be occasions where Core Partners agree to vote on a decision or a course of action. Votes will be cast through the Chair and any matter will be decided by a simple majority. Agreement and decision making must give respect and due regard to the core business or statutory functions of the Partner organisations. All relevant information must be circulated prior to the meeting. Any decision which will commit the resources (human or financial) of a Partner, must be referred to the Partner's Board of Trustees for ratification. The Partners will work cooperatively to avoid disputes. However, in the event of a dispute between two Partners, the Partners will discuss and agree a mediation process.
