Then we need to know whether the two day class option created greater attendance, and if so, whether an AGM on either Monday or Thursday night would have resulted in a quorum anyway, and if not, how to deal with this situation. Which is more desirable, the rule concerning a quorum, or greater total numbers at the convention? Is there a way to accommodate both, if necessary? There are logical progressions to these considerations. May not need to get to an either or situation. Again, data on attendance, who did what, would be useful. The big question is, What Works? lrb
Does anyone know the rationale for the requirement that classes not be given on two days only? lrb One rationale is that the By Laws require that the Annual General Meeting have 1/3 of the attendees at the convention present in order to have a quorum to vote on things. I think that the fear is that if you have a convention where people can come in and take a class on Mon-Tues, staying one night in a hotel, then leave, and others come in and do the same on Thurs-Fri, while some stay the entire week, you may not have enough people to satisfy the quorum requirement.
