"EC ... explored issues related to developing a policy concerning when and how the Alliance can issue a political opinion. EC determined that all such Alliance activity should continue to follow the processes specified in the Bylaws and that it would not be wise to develop a separate policy. When considering such activity, EC encourages members to consider whether topics are closely related to the business of the Alliance and thus likely to be appropriate for Council action. More tangential or purely political stands are unlikely to receive sufficient support for action." EC Action Items, 2010.06.16, #4

• Performance Assessment
• Compensation Policies

Before the Council meeting, the chair will send out those items that the Executive Committee thinks are routine and that do not need a vote or discussion. This Consent Agenda will be sent out in time for every Council member to read and think about the items. The Consent Agenda will be among the first items on the Council agenda. At the beginning of the Council meeting, the chair will ask whether or not any Council member wishes to have any item removed from the Consent Agenda for deliberation. If any member requests that an item be removed, it will be removed. That item will then be put into the agenda for the Council meeting. When there are no more items to be removed, the Chair will ask Council for adoption of the Consent Agenda. Adopted by Council: July 13, 2006
