Subject: Re: Fwd Email from Cameron Jackson 10/11/09 meeting
This is to clear up some misconceptions regarding quorums and voting.
A common definition is that "A quorum consists of all those present at any duly announced meeting". This would also include proxies. It does not require the attendance of all eligible voters just like a presidential or senatorial election does not.
What is required is notice to all which is what is commonly called "due process".
The notice may or may not include a ballot on which to vote yea or neigh on a meeting topic, which if filled in would constitute a proxy on that issue at the next meeting.
A majority of a quorum carries the motion.
I hope this helps clarify the issue.
Best,
JimJackson
