The exact number of personal members at (all but two) membership meetings is not known. If a quorum was not present, the presiding officer would simply said, "As you know, the quorum requirement is ____ and it is clear that we don’t have a quorum…"
The Membership Meeting room is set for the number of persons constituting a quorum, so it is very easy to determine whether a quorum is present.. Therefore, it was rare for the presiding officer to state the exact number of people present if it was clear that a quorum was not present.
