vote requirement options

[Larry R.]

Throughout RONR it is noted that certain matters may be adopted by: 1) a majority with notice, 2) 2/3 without notice, or 3) a majority of the assembly's membership. Who decides and how is it decided which voting standard will be used when any of these three methods are possible?

Any one of them will suffice. If any threshold is met, the motion is adopted.

If you want to be able to use an ordinary majority vote (i.e., a majority of those present and voting, with no other qualifications), then obviously, someone had to have given proper notice at the previous meeting or in the notice of the meeting. If no previous notice was given, then one of the other two voting thresholds must be met. But you don't have to decide which one to use. You simply count the votes, and if either is met, the motion is adopted.

Well, whether notice was given or not is a matter of fact.

So, what happens is that the votes are taken, and then judged against those thresholds, as appropriate.  If any one of them is achieved, the motion is adopted, otherwise not.
