Discussion can continue on MCRs in packet N, but if no objections to an MCR are raised by the deadline that MCR will be considered approved. The chairman examines the week's proceedings and prepares a ballot of all MCRs in the packet which received negative comments, about which questions were asked but answers were not received or about which amendments were proposed. This is to allow for the case where it seems clear that everyone supports an amendment, especially if the author of the MCR made the amendment. Every amended MCR will appear on the ballot. Those MCRs which were not on the ballot and those MCRs which did not receive at least five referral votes are considered approved.
Voting is based on a majority of the membership.
Reject an MCR with a majority vote. Postpone an MCR, assigning a member the responsibility to resolve the issues causing the postponement. Allow an MCR to expire unresolved. After three meetings, if the MCR is not approved, rejected or withdrawn, it expires unresolved. Expiration differs from rejection in that an MCR should only be rejected if it proposes a bad idea or the MCR was poorly prepared.
