A quorum is necessary in order to conduct any business. In the absence of a quorum, only four things (motions) are in order: 1. A motion to adjourn. 2. A motion to "fix the time to which to adjourn", in other words, to set an adjourned meeting, such as, "to meet again tomorrow at the same time and place". 3. A motion to take a recess. The time in recess can be used to wait for others to arrive or to take steps to obtain a quorum, such as calling absent members (see No. 4 below). 4. Take steps to obtain a quorum as mentioned in No. 3 above. This will usually involve calling absent members. Those four actions are the only actions which may be validly taken in the absence of a quorum. If there is an emergency and a decision must be made immediately on something substantive despite the absence of a quorum, such as emergency roof or plumbing repairs, in order for the action (the decision) to be valid, the decision must be ratified by the society at a future meeting.
