Bruce Lages Posted June 22, 2023 at 09:20 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 at 09:20 PM If the rules in RONR apply, i.e., an affirmative vote from a defined percentage of the number of members present and voting, then yes the motion passes. And, it passes whether the requirement is a majority vote (more than half) or a 2/3 vote (at least 2/3). Abstentions are ignored in these cases.

One vote for the motion, and two abstentions. Does the motion pass? Certainly. In fact, it was arguably unanimous, as there were no dissenting votes.
