The Committee may only deliberate if the number of members present at the meeting exceeds half of the number of members in office.
If a Committee member called to a meeting indicates that he/she will be unable to attend, the alternate will be called.
If the quorum is not reached after the first meeting has been convened, a second meeting shall be convened at least eight days later. Deliberations taken after this second notice are valid, regardless of the number of persons present.
