[Guest Rob Elsman]

As long as the executive board acts within the scope of its authority, its actions do not require the ratification of the general membership assembly."

[Guest ET]

If a member in good standing attending the AGM thinks the council acted outside the scope of its authority, what is that member allowed to do at that meeting?"

[Guest Rob Elsman]

Sit still and be quiet."

[Guest ET]

Thanks. That really helps."

[Guest ET]

Other than adjourning, what else can be done in an AGM without a quorum? Can we still meet to inform and report? If so, is that still called an AGM or will it be called something else like information session?"

[Guest H.Wm.Mountcastle]

It would be helpful if you would keep your separate questions on separate threads.

Ratification questions here; quorum questions somewhere else."

[Guest ET]

Please accept my apologies. "
