The framers of your bylaws seem to have misunderstood the meaning of quorum. It's the number of members ho must be present in order to conduct business. Specifying a fraction of the number of members present just, well, doesn't compute. The good news for us at this forum is that your organization must determine the meaning of your bylaws. [page 570 and also see the principles on the following pages] After you figure out what they mean, you should amend them to something that is clearer. Consider "the presence of 25 voting members shall constitute a quorum" or "the presence of 1/3 of the voting members shall constitute a quorum." To amend your bylaws, you need to follow the current bylaws for notice, vote, and quorum needed. -Bob
