What is considered a quorum for ASET Council meetings?

A quorum for ASET Council meetings is defined as a simple majority of members. This means that in order for the meeting to conduct business and make decisions, more than half of the council members must be present. Establishing a simple majority as the standard for a quorum is common in many organizational structures, as it ensures that decisions are made with the participation of the majority of members, thereby increasing the legitimacy and representativeness of the decisions reached.

Choosing a simple majority helps facilitate the decision-making process by not requiring consensus or attendance from all members, which can be impractical in larger organizations. This allows for efficiency in conducting business while still protecting the democratic principle of having most members represented in critical discussions.

In contrast, full attendance, two-thirds, or a minimum number of members would either hinder the functionality of the council or not accurately reflect the will of the majority.
