CB.13:4.6 - Adopt the arrangement and make it effective

Test the proposed arrangement before adoption with an ordinary case and a consequential dispute. Check whether the named participants can actually perform it with available time, information, access and support. Repair a missing contribution or revise the option.

Present the resulting proposal and its consequences to the people who can adopt it under the existing basis. Show the scope of the proposed authority, what remains with participants or local groups, the commitment required and how it can change or end. Obtain the required agreement or decision through the applicable procedure.

If this is the first limited voluntary agreement, make acceptance and its boundary explicit. Provide a way to decline. Record whose activity and contributions it governs and what happens to a person who leaves. Leave external obligations with their actual holders. A discussion of a proposal is not its adoption.

Make the mandates and conditions effective: complete the required appointment or acceptance, provide access, obtain the promised resource contribution and tell participants where decisions and challenges go. Use OCE.6 for assignments and enabling relations when needed. A person can be selected while an essential condition remains unavailable; retain that distinction and reduce the dependent promise.

Keep the usable rule and current appointments discoverable. A short agreement can suffice for a small joint activity. A larger association may need its established constitutional and decision records. Use the existing form that preserves the needed scope, term, result and amendment route.
