THE CHANGE DECISION. 13.1 The purpose of this Clause 13 is to determine whether or not a Change Proposal is to be accepted and the proposed variation to this Agreement made accordingly. The process shall be applied independently to the vote concerning the proposed variation and to the vote concerning the proposed implementation date, to determine in each case whether the proposal is accepted or rejected.
13.2 In the case of a Change Proposal that relates to a Part 1 Matter a vote by the Parties to accept or reject that proposal shall have the status of a recommendation to the Authority to determine that the proposal is to be accepted or rejected, and shall not by itself have the effect of an acceptance or rejection of the proposal.
13.3 In the case of a Change Proposal which relates to a Part 2 Matter, a vote which meets the criteria set out in this Clause 13 shall be effective to determine the acceptance or the rejection of the proposal.
13.4 The Secretariat shall be responsible, in respect of each Change Proposal, for:
13.4.1 monitoring the votes which are received and collated in accordance with Clause 12.4;
13.4.2 calculating whether the votes, having regard to the Weighted Vote allocated to each Group, are sufficient to meet the thresholds set out in Clauses 13.5 and 13.6;
13.4.3 having made those calculations, declaring whether:
(A) in the case of a Change Proposal that relates to a Part 1 Matter, the Parties are deemed to have recommended to the Authority that the proposal should be accepted or rejected; and
(B) in the case of a Change Proposal that relates to a Part 2 Matter, the proposal is accepted or rejected; and
