IEEE Bylaw I-300.4(5) - Action of the Board of Directors and Committees

Matters for which the Board of Directors has delegated responsibility to an organizational unit pursuant to these Bylaws shall not be implemented until approval by the governing body of the organizational unit and subsequent review and approval by the Board of Directors. After approval by the governing body of the organizational unit, the matter shall be submitted to appropriate staff, as designated by the IEEE Executive Director, who shall oversee the process for obtaining approval by the Board of Directors and who shall also review and recommend any related changes to operations manuals or other documents for clarity, completeness, and conformance with the other governing documents of the IEEE. Each such matter shall be distributed to the Board of Directors, but no later than 30 November of each calendar year. If no objections are raised by any of the Directors within 30 days after distribution, the Directors shall be so notified, the matter may be implemented by the applicable organizational unit, and the matter shall be included on the consent agenda of the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors. If an objection is raised by one or more Directors during such 30 day period, the matter shall not be implemented and, unless earlier resolved by resubmission of the matter to the Board of Directors in accordance with the foregoing procedure, or withdrawal of the matter, the matter shall be included on the action agenda of the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors.
