Interpretation

(Let's call it a day for my story on complaint.)

On a recent occasion, I encountered a document that outlined the structure and function of a committee - an eye-opening experience for me.

Here is the original description:

The Committee consists of the chairperson, one of the company's senior executive or designee, and at least two other members of the advisory board (i.e. a total of four members).  Critical decisions of the Committee should be made by unanimous vote.  However, if this is not possible, majority vote will decide.  In the event of a tied vote, the Chair will hold the casting vote.

If the above paragraph were written by Sir Humphrey Appleby, let me provide Bernard Woolley's translation in simple English:

Unless all other three Committee members go against the Chairman, otherwise the latter will make the decision.
