A registration-based quorum is a way of determining how many people need to be present at a meeting for it to be considered valid. This is based on how many members have checked in at the meeting, either at a specific time or throughout the duration of the meeting. It's like taking attendance to make sure there are enough people to make important decisions.
Definition: A registration-based quorum is a type of quorum that is determined by the number of members who have checked in at a meeting, either at a fixed time or throughout the duration of the meeting.
For example, if a meeting requires a quorum of 50% of the members present, a registration-based quorum would be determined by counting the number of members who have checked in at the meeting. If there are 100 members in total, and 60 have checked in, then the registration-based quorum would be 30 members.
This type of quorum is useful for ensuring that a sufficient number of members are present at a meeting to conduct business. It also allows for flexibility, as members can check in at any time during the meeting and still be counted towards the quorum.
