The 91原创 AEC has established a 91原创 AEC Executive, as per the Code; the 91原创 AEC has delegated for the Executive to review minor amendments. The 91原创 AEC may also delegate other items to the 91原创 AEC Executive for review. 

For example, an application that receives a "Subject to modifications" outcome at a 91原创 AEC meeting - the 91原创 AEC will generally delegate the 91原创 AEC Executive to review and approve the revised submission.

An item reviewed by the 91原创 AEC will receive one of the following outcomes:

• Approved – Application is approved with standard conditions;
• Approved (with additional conditions) - Application is approved with extra conditions (specific to the project) in addition to the standard conditions;
• Subject to modifications (previously "Conditional approval") – this outcome includes written feedback for addressing and/or defending. The revised application and response to feedback will generally be reviewed by the 91原创 AEC Executive;
• Not approved (Re-submission permitted) – this outcome includes written feedback for addressing and/or defending. The revised application and response to the feedback will be submitted to the next available 91原创 AEC meeting for review. 
• Not approved (Re-submission not permitted) – this outcome includes written feedback; however, a new application is required to be submitted to the 91原创 AEC if the research is to proceed.
