I've read this related question. In this case Bylaws say of meetings of the members: What can happen if quorum is 25% of 136 = 34, there are 60 absentee ballots, and exactly one additional entitled-to-vote member shows up to the meeting (61 "present" >= 34 quorum)? It seems reasonable that one option is the entitled member declines to call the meeting to order and matters proceed as if nobody showed up. But (Q1) can that person call the meeting to order, go through the agenda including receiving and reading the teller's report, and adjourn the meeting with the ballot items determined by that report? Or (Q2) could that person call the meeting to order and make whatever decisions they wish unanimously (as long as their actions comply with all other rules)? If the answer to either question is "No" solely because any of (a) the member doesn't meet the criteria to chair the meeting, or (b) the member can't make a motion while chairing the meeting, or (c) there's nobody to second a motion, then: (Q3) Can the president and two members be sole attendees and proceed to execute the meeting as described? I think the answer to Q3 is yes, to Q1 probably yes, and to Q2 also probably yes (yikes), but would appreciate explanations if an answer is "no".
