Definitions:
"A-Item": means an Agenda Item that will be presented
at a Board meeting for voting on. A-Items are generally clustered
at the top of the Agenda, unless they must be preceded by a presentation
that cannot occur until later in the meeting.
"Board Two-Thirds Vote": A positive vote by two-thirds
of the Board members
"By Invitation" means an invitation extended by
the Committee chair or by the Board Chair, always after obtaining
Board approval. This invitation must be renewed annually at the
July/August Board Face-to-Face meeting unless the terms of the invitation
are for a shorter term.
"Invited Expert": An OASIS Member who is invited
to participate in a Board Committee; an Invited Expert may also
be a TAB member, but does not represent the TAB. Invited Experts
have no voting rights.
"Vote": Board Committees vote only on the rarest
of occasions, and no Committee vote is binding on the Board; Committees
produce only recommendations for the Board to approve.
