The quorum required for valid meetings and decisions of the Executive Committee is four of its seven members.

A member of the Executive Committee may give a written proxy to another member, but only for a specified meeting and no member may hold more than one proxy. At least three members of the Executive Committee have to be present in person.
 
The Executive Committee may temporarily avail itself of anyone whom it deems useful to prepare or assist in its work.
