Sec. 7100.5. Quorum for meetings

(a) A quorum will consist of at least 10 commissioners, according to section 62(6) of the Judiciary Law. A quorum for any meeting of the commission will be 10 commissioners who may be present either in person, by telephone or by online voice communication services. For the interviewing and nomination of candidates, a quorum must be physically present.

(b) In the event that seven or more commissioners are present in person at a duly called meeting at which a quorum fails to appear, those commissioners who are present at such meeting are constituted as a committee of the commission, and are authorized to conduct all business of the commission and enact resolutions on behalf of the commission, except as to the interviewing and nomination of candidates; provided that the absent commissioners are given prompt notice of any action taken by the committee; and provided that any action taken by that committee is ratified at the next commission meeting at which at least 10 commissioners are present in person or by telephone, or is ratified by a writing, or writings, signed by all the absent commissioners.
