I'm not sure what you mean by "a majority of ten". I assume you mean there were ten members present, and that was enough to satisfy the quorum requirement.A motion is made and seconded. After discussion, the vote is taken. The result is five in favor of the motion and five abstaining. Does the motion carry?Assuming it requires a majority vote to pass, yes. In fact, it carried unanimously, for those who care about such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it required a majority (or 2/3) of those present or of the entire membership (and I'm guessing there are more than 10 in the membership), then we've got a different story on our hands.
