2. At least eight days’ notice must be given of meetings, except in urgent cases that, according to the Vice-presidency, so justify.

3. The Executive Committee is validly constituted if at least five members are in attendance. The same quorum applies for the adoption of agreements.

4. Agreements are adopted by simple majority.

5. Executive Committee members are paid expenses for attending all ordinary meetings, up to an amount established by the Council Presidency, conditional on the mandatory issue of the expenses report.
