Part 1: Police Reform
Paragraphs 23 and 24: Procedure

53.Paragraph 23 allows the Agency to determine its own procedures including numbers needed for a quorum (although meetings of the Agency’s committees and sub-committees must include at least one person who is a member of the Agency or its staff.) Paragraph 24 provides that decisions taken by the Agency are not invalidated simply because there are vacancies in the membership of the Agency or because members have been defectively appointed.
