Guest manny strass

can you answer what is a quorum vote?

this is found on our rule book:

"All findings of the Grievance Committee shall be final and
can only be reversed by a quorum of the Board of
Directors, and if necessary further appeal is available at the
membership level."

Unclear.

That language did NOT come out of the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order.

So it is anybody's game (armed with a good dictionary) what is intended.

If taken literally, then you would need the affirmative vote of a number equal to, or exceeding, the quorum number of that board.

If taken another way, you would need an ordinary vote, but with a quorum present.

Which interpretation was intended? No one knows. Except the original drafter, perhaps.

WAIT!

Since original poster (Manny Strass) has 3 identical posts, let's scrap this one with the title of "mr", and answer one of Manny Strass's other posts with a better title, "Quorum vote".
