I don't fully understand why you think the committee issue is so important.
I have worked for an Australian parliamentary committee, I have sat on high school policy committees, and I currently sit on a number of academic administrative committees. In all cases the general method of decision-making was for the chair to express a preliminary view, seek input from the table, and then for the matter to be resolved by the consenus that the chair took to have arisen out of the discussion. Only a handful of times in 20 years have I ever seen a committee put a matter to the vote, whether that involved making a decision or revisiting a previous decision.
I'd be surprised if US business practice is all that different from my Australian public sector experiences.
And yet another word from our sponsors
