calling a meeting

Can you please clarify your question? Are you talking about calling a Special Meeting? Calling a meeting to order? Or something else?

Can you clarify even further than that?? smile.gif

Anyone?

"If its chairman fails to call a meeting, the committee must meet on the call of any two of its members...."

...unless your rules provide otherwise. (RONR p. 482, l. 19) But that can be read as applying only to the first meeting of the committee. After that, it is presumed that (a majority of) the committee itself would provide for further meetings. You might try to stretch it to any situation where the committee is awaiting the call of the chair, but it would be up to the parent body (not the committee itself) to settle the matter.

The quorum for a meeting (unless your rules say otherwise) is a majority of the committee's membership.

I would apply the citation to any situation in which the committee's chair refuses to call a meeting of the committee, but I know there are members of this forum who feel quite strongly that it applies only to the first meeting.
