Decision-making committees

A committee is a group of people who deal with a specific task. The actual task of the committee is usually derived from its name. A decision-making body makes decisions.

A decision-making body should therefore

  • consist of an uneven number of persons, so that a majority can be reached in decisions
  • be reached in decisions
  • be represented by people with different values and perspectives, so that all sides can be taken into account in a decision.
  • Convene regular meetings in order to be able to react faster to decisions.
  • determine where and how the members meet.
  • clarify what happens to the right to vote in the event of an impediment.
