Article 6, Section 5.
Majority Vote of Trustees
Except as provided in Article V, Section 3 and Article VIII, Section 5, all action by the Trustees at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be by a majority of those present; provided, however, that any Trustee may, either before or after a majority vote has been taken, require that action of the Trustees be determined by a unit vote as follows:
- The WGA Trustees collectively shall have one (1)
vote upon the question. The Producer Trustees collectively
shall have one (1) vote on the question.
- The vote of the Producer Trustees shall be determined
by a majority of the Producer Trustees present, provided
that at least one Trustee appointed by the Network
Companies and at least one Trustee appointed by the Alliance
votes with such majority, and the vote of the WGA Trustees
shall be determined by a majority of the WGA Trustees
present. In the event that either the Producer Trustees
present or the WGA Trustees present cannot determine their
respective collective vote among themselves by such majority
decision, then the matter at issue shall remain in status quo
until the deadlocked group of Trustees can cast the single,
collective vote of that group as above contemplated; provided,
however, if such group of Trustees does not resolve
such deadlock among themselves and cast their collective vote
prior to the next meeting of Trustees, the question or matter
shall again be presented at such next meeting. If at such
next meeting the particular group of Trustees be still deadlocked
and remain so until such meeting be adjourned, then
immediately upon the adjournment the vote of such deadlocked
group shall be deemed automatically cast in opposition to the
vote of the group which has not been deadlocked so as to
cause thereby a deadlock vote between the groups which shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 6
of this Article VI.
- In the event any matter presented for decision cannot be decided by the Trustees as a whole because of a tie vote between Producer Trustees and WGA Trustees, the matter shall remain in status quo pending the vote of the impartial umpire as provided in Section 6 of this Article VI.
