2021 New York Laws NPC - Not-For-Profit Corporation Article 6 - Members 608 - Quorum at Meeting of Members.

§ 608. Quorum at meeting of members.  (a)  Members  entitled to cast a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast thereat shall constitute a quorum at  a  meeting  of members  for  the  transaction  of  any  business,  provided that when a specified item of business is required to be voted  on  by  a  class  of members,  voting  as a class, members entitled to cast a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast by such class shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such specified items of business.  (b) The certificate of incorporation or the by-laws  may  provide  for any lesser quorum not less than the members entitled to cast one hundred votes  or  one-tenth  of  the total number of votes entitled to be cast, whichever is lesser, and may, under section 615 (Greater requirement  as to quorum and vote of members), provide for a greater quorum.  (c)  Action  to  amend  the certificate of incorporation or by-laws to conform to paragraph (b) may be taken at a special meeting of members at which the quorum requirements applicable to the corporation  immediately prior  to  the  effective date of this chapter are fulfilled, but action may be taken only once under this paragraph.  (d) The members present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum.  (e) If for any reason it has proved to be  impractical  or  impossible for  a  corporation  to obtain a quorum in order to conduct a meeting of its members in the manner prescribed by its certificate or by-laws or by statute, then upon the petition of a director, officer or member to  the supreme  court  in  the  judicial  district  where  the  office  of  the corporation is or was located on notice to the attorney  general  or  by the  attorney  general, the supreme court may in its discretion dispense with the requirement as to quorums that would otherwise  be  imposed  by the corporation's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or by statute. The  petition shall set forth the reasonable efforts the corporation has made to obtain a quorum, including the manner in which  the  corporation provided  notice  to  its  members  of prior meetings. The supreme court shall, in an order issued pursuant to this section, provide for a method of notice reasonably designed to give actual notice to all  persons  who would  be  entitled  to  notice  of  a  meeting  held  pursuant  to  the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or the statute, whether  or  not the  method  results in actual notice to all such persons or conforms to the notice requirements that would  otherwise  apply.  In  a  proceeding under  this  section  the court may determine who are the members of the corporation.  (f) For purposes of  this  section  "person"  means  any  association, corporation, joint stock company, estate, general partnership (including any   registered   limited  liability  partnership  or  foreign  limited liability partnership), limited association, limited  liability  company (including  a  professional  service limited liability company), foreign limited liability company  (including  a  foreign  professional  service limited  liability company), joint venture, limited partnership, natural person, real estate investment trust, business  trust  or  other  trust, custodian,  nominee  or any other individual or entity in its own or any representative capacity.
