   Note 

The value of the numerator divided by the 
denominator is automatically multiplied by the 
number of authorized delegates for calculating 
the quorum. Values will be rounded to the 
nearest integer. 

 
As an example of specifying a quorum, the following 
figures would be entered in the ‘Formula’ edit fields 
to produce a quorum corresponding to over half the 
authorized delegates being present: 

• 

numerator – 1 

• 

denominator – 2 

• 

constant - 1 

 
In the above example, the number of authorized 
delegates would be multiplied by 1/2. The number 
one would then be added to this figure to produce 
the final quorum i.e. over half the authorized 
delegates. 
 

 i 

   Note 

The figures entered in the numerator and 
denominator edit fields can be a maximum of 
three digits. The denominator cannot be zero. 
The figure entered in the constant edit field can 
be a maximum of four digits, and have a 
maximum value of 1500. 

 
To continue: 

•  Enter the desired values in the ‘Formula’ edit 

fields. 

•  Click on the ‘Insert’ push button. 

The quorum will now appear in the list box, and can 
be selected from the Control window. 
The procedure for editing an existing quorum is 
almost identical to that for creating a new quorum. 
The only differences are that you must move the 
quorum to the formula edit fields first. To edit an 
existing quorum: 

•  Highlight the quorum in the list of current 

quorums. 

•  Click on the ‘Recall’ push button. 

Specifying name and formula is carried out as for 
creating a new quorum. 
 

 i 

   Note 

Any quorum in the list box can be deleted by 
first highlighting it and then clicking on the 
‘Delete’ push button. 

Specifying majorities 
It is possible to specify a new majority or edit existing 
majorities. If a majority exists, it can be selected and 
enabled or disabled. 
To specify a new majority or edit an existing 
majority: 

•  Select the ‘Settings’ menu and click on 

‘Quorum/Majority’. 

•  Select ‘Edit Majorities....’ 

The following dialogue box will appear: 

 

The dialogue box consists of the following elements: 

• 

‘Name’ and ‘Formula’ edit fields 

• 

‘Calculate over:’ radio buttons 

• 

‘Insert’ and ‘Recall’ push buttons 

• 

A list box of current majorities 

• 

‘OK’, ‘Cancel’ and ‘Delete’ push buttons 

 
To specify a new majority: 

•  Type the desired majority name in the ‘Name’ 

edit field. 

The ‘Formula’ edit fields allows you to determine 
how the majority is calculated. They consist of a 
numerator (upper edit field), denominator (lower edit 
field) and constant (right hand edit field). 
 

 i 

   Note 

The value of the numerator divided by the 
denominator is automatically multiplied by the 
option selected in the ‘Calculate over:’ part of 
the dialogue box for calculating the quorum. 
Values are rounded to the nearest integer.
