Atul Kapur Posted May 22, 2019 at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 at 04:38 PM The motion is Not adopted. Go to the next item of business. A motion needs a majority (more than half) vote to be adopted. A tie is not more than half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
