Guest Ron Posted February 6, 2013 at 12:50 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 at 12:50 AM on a 5 member board, if only three members show up, and only two of those members vote on a resolution, is that motion approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted February 6, 2013 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 at 12:57 AM Depends on if they both voted in favor of the motion. Also depends if those 3 members constituted a quorum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vote of 1-1, for example, would not approve a motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HNg2mx Posted February 6, 2013 at 02:17 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 at 02:17 AM The three members did constitute a quorum. Two members voted in favor of the motion and one did not vote at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wall_Nut Posted February 6, 2013 at 02:21 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 at 02:21 AM Did the resolution require 2/3rds majority, a simple majority, a majority of those present, a majority of all members...or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A majority of all members would require 3 affirmative votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mixed Nuts Posted February 7, 2013 at 01:54 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 at 01:54 AM Well, it would be the opinion of anyone who's not nuts. Which isn't necessarily a majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
