Example

The committee wants to change the work schedule for court interpreters.

The committee must first write a notice to the interpreters' group and set up a meeting to discuss the new schedule. If there's an emergency, like a sudden shortage of interpreters, they can change the schedule immediately but must tell the group and meet with them soon after.
