THE MECHANISM OF DECISION MAKING IN THE CLUSTER Decisions within the cluster are usually taken by consensus within the JCC. If this consensus is not met then the decisions are taken by majority vote of CCC members present at the council meeting. In the case of one-off matters which do not justify the convocation of the JCC, the vote may also be exercised by correspondence on the basis of a voting file. The preparation of the voting file, containing the statement of the issue, the arguments for or against the CCC members, its dissemination to the members of the cluster as well as the receipt and counting of votes are the responsibility of APTE, which within max. 3 days after receiving the votes of the CCC members, they will make known the final result of the vote.
