Conduct of the meeting of the JNGRC. The JNGRC shall establish its own rules of procedure within one hundred twenty (120) days of the ratification of the National Agreement that are not inconsistent with this agreement. The procedure shall be designed to be user friendly and intended to permit discussion of the merits of the dispute. There shall be no court reporter or stenographer present for the JNGRC proceedings unless mutually agreed to by the parties. Briefs and Statements made by the committee members or any guest, witness or presenter during the course of JNGRC proceedings shall not be used in any subsequent legal or arbitration proceedings. It is intended that this will promote a full and free discussion of the dispute at issue. Presentation of cases to the JNGRC shall be made by means of briefs prepared by the Local Union and Local Company Manager. Such briefs shall include a short factual recitation, relevant exhibits, and proffers of witness testimony when necessary. Live presentations to the JNGRC are disfavored. Ordinarily, decisions of the JNGRC will be issued within 24 hours of reviewing the case. If a decision, however, is not rendered within 30 days of being heard by the JNGRC, then such matter shall be automatically considered deadlocked unless agreed to otherwise by the co-chairs.
