FAQ
No quorum means no business can be conducted (no motions can be passed!) Reading of minutes may be waived (thank goodness!!)
If the quorum is not present within half an hour of the time set for the meeting to begin, then the following options will be applicable: The meeting will be adjourned, and it shall be held on the same day and at the same time next week, or any other date and time as the Board may determine.
If no quorum is present, the meeting can still be conducted however, the business will need to be held over until later when a quorum is present. Without a quorum, no business can be conducted.
Robert's Rules (Section -16) state that “the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members.” Minutes are not transcripts of meetings; rather, the document contains a record of actions taken by the body, organized by the meeting's order of business (agenda).
To ensure that the companies follow this regulation and that such meetings are held properly, it requires a quorum to be met for it to be deemed as a valid meeting. A 'Quorum' in simple words means the minimum number of members that have to be present in a meeting.
Are board meeting minutes confidential? Yes. The board should assume the minutes are confidential and, in most cases, they will remain so.
Robert's Rules of Order approval of minutes Read the minutes: The board chair asks the secretary to read the minutes from the previous meeting. Correct the minutes: The chair will open the floor for corrections whether the minutes were read or distributed beforehand.
Formal motion and vote. Once everyone agrees on the changes (if any), a motion is made to approve the minutes. This motion is seconded and followed by a vote. A majority vote typically finalizes the approval.
Until the meeting minutes are approved, they are not considered an official record of the meeting. Approval is a critical step that cannot be missed. The corporate secretary's approved version of the minutes is considered to be the official record.
Ing to Robert's Rules, minutes drafted before the meeting are not officially deemed meeting minutes until members approve them. Members should review the draft minutes and take notes of corrections they want to make before the meeting. Then, they should propose corrections as needed during the meeting.
