Article 9
|
Each meeting of the Committee shall be attended by all the members before it may be held. However, in the event of a natural disaster, unforeseen event, or other force majeure event that renders full attendance of all the members impossible, this restriction shall not apply if at least two internal reviewers and one external reviewer are in attendance.
When the Committee meets, the members shall attend in person, and may not appoint any other person to attend on their behalf; nor may they appoint any other person to exercise powers on their behalf in a meeting, provided a member who participates in a meeting by video conferencing shall be deemed to attend in person.
A member who leaves early may not exercise voting rights. The chair of a meeting shall adjourn the meeting if, due to an early departure of a member, the quorum in paragraph 1 is not met by the members present. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the meeting may continue if the minimum quorum in the proviso to paragraph 1 is met.
