The President of the Council of the UNAC is the presiding officer. They handle the agenda and preside over meetings and they communicate with senior officials from other bodies of the UNAC as necessary. This is a position that rotates every few months. A meeting of the Council is held once a week unless either two or more of the members ask the President of the Council for an extraordinary sitting or a duly constituted sitting agrees to hold an extraordinary sitting.
The Council proceeding are usually more informal and the rules surrounding speaking time, conduct and so on are more loose. Furthermore, whereas sessions of the Auroran Parliament are usually public, the Council's deliberations are private unless disclosed by a majority of the members. Most decisions are made by a simple majority of all the members. Most decisions require all members to be present for a decision to be binding.
