[Healeys] AHCA June Delegates meeting

[John May]

The AHCA bylaws outline the proxy process for voting purposes, which is 
specific to that organization.  On the general topic of quorum 
qualificaton, Roberts Rules covers this in Article XI, Section 64, 
second sentence, stating that "The quorum refers to the number present, 
not to the number voting."  Although proxies are welcome and the process 
for using them is sent to the delegates as a reminder prior to most 
meetings, they count for voting but not for quorum.  That could be 
changed by the delegates of course, through a bylaws change, but to date 
they have not done so.  I hope this helps.
