Definition of interest-based quorum
Definition: Interest-based quorum is a type of quorum that is determined based on the presence or representation of various constituencies. It is the minimum number of members required to be present for a deliberative assembly to legally transact business.
Examples:
- A board of directors may require that a certain number of members from each department be present to constitute an interest-based quorum.
- A student council may require that a certain number of representatives from each grade level be present to constitute an interest-based quorum.
These examples illustrate how an interest-based quorum is determined based on the representation of different groups or constituencies. It ensures that all groups have a say in the decision-making process and prevents one group from dominating the discussion.
