constituency-based quorum

A quick definition of constituency-based quorum:

A constituency-based quorum is the minimum number of members from different groups or interests that must be present for a meeting to legally transact business. This means that a certain number of people from each group or interest must be present in order for decisions to be made. Other types of quorums include disappearing quorums, interest-based quorums, notice-based quorums, proportional quorums, and registration-based quorums.

A more thorough explanation:

A constituency-based quorum is a type of quorum in parliamentary law that is determined according to the presence or representation of various constituencies. It is also known as an interest-based quorum.

For example, in a meeting of a student council, a constituency-based quorum may require the presence of at least one representative from each grade level in order to transact business. This ensures that the interests of all grade levels are represented in the decision-making process.

Another example is a board meeting of a non-profit organization where a constituency-based quorum may require the presence of at least one representative from each of the organization's member groups, such as donors, volunteers, and staff.

Constituency-based quorums are useful in ensuring that all relevant perspectives are considered in decision-making. By requiring representation from various constituencies, it helps to prevent the domination of one group over others and promotes inclusivity.
