Rev Ed Posted January 25, 2014 at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 at 07:23 PM In general no voting can take place without a quorum. However a couple of votes can take place - to adjourn, to recess, or to take action(s) to try an achieve a quorum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Even in the absence of a quorum, the assembly may fix the time to which to adjourn (22), adjourn (21), recess (20), or take measures to obtain a quorum. Subsidiary and incidental motions, questions of privilege, motions to Raise a Question of Privilege or Call for the Orders of the Day, and other motions may also be considered if they are related to these motions or to the conduct of the meeting while it remains without a quorum."

RONR (11th ed.), pp. 347-8Okay, what's the distinction between a motion to Raise a Question of Privilege and a question of privilege? Was it necessary to specify both?
