sec.15 Board committees
The Board may, with the unanimous agreement of all the members of the Board (not including the CEO), establish a committee or committees to assist in carrying out the functions of the Board. The Board may dissolve a committee at any time. The functions of a committee are as determined by the unanimous agreement of all the members of the Board (not including the CEO). However, the Board can not determine that a committee has the function of determining whether an ACC State intelligence operation is a special operation or whether an ACC State investigation is a special investigation. In performing its functions, a committee must comply with any directions given to the committee by the Board. A question arising at a meeting of a committee is to be determined by a majority of the votes of committee members present. However, the CEO is not entitled to vote on any question arising at a meeting of a committee of which he or she is a member. A committee must inform the other members of the Board of its decisions. A committee may regulate proceedings at its meetings as it considers appropriate. A committee must ensure that minutes of its meetings are kept.
