On each proposal there should be a separate vote. 3.4. A majority of two-thirds of the votes of the members of the Board of Trustees is required for each Award. The Chairman carries a double vote. 3.5. The Awards should be presented in an appropriately dignified fashion. 3.6. After each presentation of King Albert Medals, the names and addresses of the recipients, as well as the reasons for their selection should be made known to the Belgian Royal Cabinet for the attention of His Majesty the King of Belgium.
