(a) The Board makes available to the parties three types of informal consent procedures through which authoriza-tion issues can be resolved without re-sort to formal procedures. These infor-mal agreements are commonly referred to as consent-election agreement fol-lowed by Regional Director's deter-mination, stipulated election agree-ment followed by Board certification, and full consent-election agreement providing for the Regional Director's determination of both pre- and post-election matters. Forms for use in these informal procedures are available in the Regional Offices.
