283: Specified procedure for making decisions
or “The Board and Registrar must follow specific rules when making decisions about people.”

You could also call this:

“The Board and Registrar can decide how they make choices, as long as they follow the rules.”

You and the Registrar can decide how you want to make decisions for this part of the Act. This means you can choose your own way of doing things, as long as it doesn’t go against what the Act says. You have the freedom to set up your own process for making decisions, but you must still follow any rules that are already in the Act.
