If a written explanation for his absence is submitted by the third meeting, the executive committee shall consider the explanation and decide by a simple majority of those at the meeting whether the absent member shall remain in the executive committee.

The president or, in his absence, the vice-president shall preside at a meeting of the executive committee.

In their absence, one of the members present, other than the honorary general secretary, shall be elected to preside at the meeting.
