3. The Chair shall preside at Commission meetings and shall conduct the business of the Commission in the manner prescribed by these rules.

If none of the Officers is present, the Executive Officer will preside until a Chair is elected, from those Commissioners present, to act as Chair for the meeting. The Chair shall preserve order and decorum and shall decide questions of order subject to action of a majority of the Commission. The Chair shall be permitted to participate in debate without surrender of the chair.
