8. Board documentation
8.1 Documents for Board meetings shall be numbered as per clause 1.5.3 of the Technical Working Procedures, BOARD(17)XXX_xxx.
8.2 The "Cut-off date" for Decision documents will normally be at 7 days prior to the meeting. The submission date of the document will be indicated in the top right hand corner. If the submission date is after the "cut-off" date then a cross will be put in the "late submission" box. Revised documents will show their new submission date but will not be marked as "Late submission".
"Late submission" does not prevent the Board from taking a decision based on the document but such a decision may be deferred at the request of any Board member who feels that he/she has not had sufficient time to consider the issue. Deferral can mean either "Decision to be taken by correspondence" or held-over until next Board meeting, depending upon the issue.
8.3 Board documents shall be classified as being for DECISION, DISCUSSION or INFORMATION.
The Board may, of course, take decisions based on a Discussion/Information document provided that there are no objections.
Documents provided for INFORMATION will only be presented during the meeting when necessary to support a Decision/Discussion document, otherwise they will simply be noted afterwards in the minutes of the meeting as "Document XXX was provided for information".
NOTE: Paper copies of documents shall no longer be provided on a routine basis.
