Joshua Katz Posted April 13, 2018 at 01:19 AM Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 at 01:19 AM 2 is more than 0, so yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Geiger Posted April 13, 2018 at 01:19 AM Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 at 01:19 AM (edited) Yes, with caveats. The exception is if the motion in question requires a majority of those present or a majority of the entire membership. Unless your bylaws specify otherwise, this doesn't apply to main motions.

Does this motion pass? Yes. In fact it would technically be correct to say that it passed without dissent, which is one definition of "unanimously".
