Authority meeting notices, agenda limits, emergency procedures and virtual participation govern valid deliberation and electronic decision-making.

Authority meetings ordinarily require at least seven working days' notice with agenda papers to every member. Emergency meetings require sufficient notice to permit attendance, and decisions may be taken through circulation of an agenda. Additional business requires consent of the Chairperson or presiding member and a majority of members present. Where physical meetings are not possible, meetings and voting may occur through audio-visual and electronic means. Recorded transcripts must be retained until minutes are confirmed, and the secretariat must facilitate virtual participation.
