Decisions made in Gozenkaigi could not be effective immediately as intentions of the state, and to put decisions in force, they were required to go through due formalities (such as being adopted during a cabinet meeting) after Gozenkaigi.
ちなみに御前会議での決定は、直ちにそのまま国家意思の決定となるのでなく、改めてその内容について、正式の手続（例えば閣議）にはかる必要があった。
