I appreciate the detailed response. I do have RONR 11th edition coming, but I needed the info more quickly. Thanks to all for the info.

Thanks J. J.

I know this is very basic, but I can't seem to formulate a search that'll answer it. Assume we have a quorum at a meeting. Is a motion passed if a majority of those present vote Yes? Or is a simple majority of the votes cast sufficient? Examples: 15 member present -- 7 yes, 6 no, and 2 abstaining. Did that pass? Or does it take a majority of those present even if a number abstain? Thx ... Ed
