A. Prior to the board meeting where the actual decision is made, each member receives a copy of all proposals.
They review them, and become quite familiar with each proposal.
Then, at a board meeting where generally all members are present, a lively discussion of the merits of each proposal takes place.
If any serious questions are involved, phone calls may be made during the meeting to the appropriate persons to clear up the issues in question.
A series of votes are taken until a clear recipient emerges in each category.
