If Exco is to maintain control over the Society it is responsible for, it needs to demonstrate effective leadership.
Volunteers needs to have confidence that the Exco is listening carefully and making decisions on time.
For this reason, it is important for Excos to reach consensus clearly, and quickly.
Individual Exco does not always have the time to reply, and clear rules are needed to decide what does the default “silence” means.
For this reason, Exco decides accordingly to General Rules 4.5 and the strategic direction.
These guidelines ensure that Exco is always making a decision at the end of the day, and not leaving things in limbo.
