26.1. Consensus Decision-Making

Unless otherwise required by the Act or the Articles, questions arising at any meeting of the members shall be decided by a consensus of the Members present. A consensus will be considered to have been reached when no Member objects to the question on the floor of the meeting. Should the Chair determine, after a reasonable effort to achieve consensus has been made, that a consensus will not be reached regarding a particular question then the Chair shall refer the question to be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question in accordance with section 26.2 and section 26.3. The Chair may vote at the first instance. In case of an equality of votes, the motion will fail.
