Steps for the Chairman when Quorum is Absent or Not Maintained
1. Ascertain Quorum:
- Determine the number of members required for a quorum (usually specified in bylaws or meeting rules).
- Verify the presence of members physically, by proxy, or through electronic means.
2. Adjourn Meeting:
- If a quorum is not present at the start or subsequently lost during the meeting, the chairman should adjourn the meeting.
- Clearly state the reason for adjournment (lack of quorum).
3. Notify Members:
- Inform absent members of the adjournment and any relevant details (e.g., rescheduled date, time, location).
- Request their attendance or proxy representation for the next meeting.
4. Reschedule Meeting:
- Determine an appropriate date and time for a rescheduled meeting and announce it to members.
- Ensure that the new meeting time allows for sufficient notice and accommodates member schedules.
5. Consider Electronic Participation:
- Explore options for allowing members to participate electronically (e.g., video conference, online voting).
- This can help maintain quorum and facilitate member participation despite physical absence.
6. Amend Bylaws or Meeting Rules:
- If quorum issues are recurring, consider amending the bylaws or meeting rules to adjust the quorum requirement or allow for electronic participation.
- This should be done in accordance with established procedures and with the consent of members.
7. Document Actions:
- Record the adjournment and any related decisions in the meeting minutes.
- Include the reason for adjournment, the date and time of the rescheduled meeting, and any other relevant information.
8. Follow Up:
- Monitor attendance at the rescheduled meeting to ensure that quorum is maintained.
- Address any ongoing issues related to quorum and member participation to ensure an effective and representative meeting process.
