Quorum and Informal Consideration


Sean Hunt

Recommended Posts

Ann,

I have little doubt that in the quoted sentence, the phrase "a committee of the whole or its variations" was intended to mean "a committee of the whole, quasi committee of the whole, or informal consideration." The only question is whether this sentence is fully consistent with rules given elsewhere in the book. In my opinion, for the reasons I gave before, it is not.

Unfortunately, this sentence remains as is in the 11th edition (although other changes have been made in this paragraph).

Fortunately, I find it highly unlikely that an assembly will ever try to apply the maligned portion of this sentence to an actual situation.
