voting item Explanation: I like Deane’s suggestion but when I find the (cognate) equivalent item in Dutch minutes to translate, I usually go for this version. The problem is that Anglo-Saxon committees tend to regard (and especially to describe) their work less prescriptively than Continental ones and so avoid the use of single set terms of this type. Normally, a councillor or other type of committee member would describe such an item as “something to vote on” or “an item we have to make a decision on” or such, using a bit of a circumlocution. |

decision process Explanation: Depending on context, it should be a decision item (on an agenda), but if the context of an agenda is not provided in the rest of the text, simply using "decision item" would be vague. A decision item on an agenda is essentially the same thing as a subprocess in which the decision is made - hence, a viable alternative would be "decision process". |
