101: Board may sit in divisions

You could also call this:

"The Board can split into smaller teams to make decisions"

Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

The President of the Film and Literature Board of Review can decide if the Board should sit in smaller groups, called divisions. You can think of these divisions like smaller teams within the Board. The President gets to choose which members are in each team. The President also decides which team will look at a particular case. Each team must have at least three members, plus either the President or the Deputy President. These teams can make decisions at the same time as other teams. The teams have the same powers as the whole Board, so they can make decisions on their own. This means that more than one team can be working on different cases at the same time.
