proportional quorum

A quick definition of proportional quorum:

A proportional quorum is the minimum number of members needed to be present for a group to make decisions. This number is calculated based on the total number of seats or members, including any vacancies. It ensures that decisions are made by a fair representation of the group, rather than just a small number of people.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Proportional quorum is a type of quorum that is calculated based on a defined or assumed set, usually either the number of seats (including vacancies) or the number of sitting members (excluding vacancies). It is used to determine the minimum number of members required to be present for a deliberative assembly to legally transact business.

  • If a board of directors has 10 members and a proportional quorum is set at 60%, then at least 6 members must be present for the board to conduct business.
  • In a parliament with 100 seats, a proportional quorum of 50% would require at least 51 members to be present for the parliament to conduct business.

These examples illustrate how proportional quorum is calculated based on a defined or assumed set, and how it is used to determine the minimum number of members required for a deliberative assembly to legally transact business.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
