CGOV.16:4.1 - Choose the action and the failed or proposed performance

Name what someone is doing and the moment or interval in question: qualifying a ballot, adding votes, explaining a valuation assumption, questioning a proposal or recording a conditional approval. Identify what useful result is sought and what currently prevents it.

Distinguish an observed occurrence from a proposal for future work. A proposed participation arrangement can be examined before the meeting, but its description does not establish that participants can already perform it.

Use the actual difficulty to set the extent of inquiry. A faulty vote count need not open a complete review of strategy, audit, ownership and corporate culture.
