Approval
8.0.5.4. A unanimous vote is required, and the chair votes
Required Often forgotten
Approval of Venturing advancement requires a unanimous vote. The chair is a voting member. If any member dissents, the decision cannot be for approval.
Notes and warnings
Warning. Unanimous, with the chair voting. One dissent means the decision cannot be for approval, and the candidate must never learn that there was a dissent, let alone whose. Before voting on a disagreement, check it is not a misunderstanding; calling the candidate back in is explicitly appropriate.
