Art. V: MEETINGS OF THE GOVERNING COUNCIL

b. A meeting of the Council may be convened by the Secretary with the consent of the President . The Secretary shall convene a special meeting of the Council upon receiving a requisition in writing signed by not less than six members thereof. At least thirty days previous notice shall be given to the members of the Council unless all the members otherwise agree.
c. Non-attendance at three consecutive Council meetings by any of its members without intimating a reasonable ground shall constitute a vacancy, but a reinstatement can be effected on receiving a convincing reply.
d. A resolution may be passed by circulation among the members of the Council who are in India and if a majority express their opinion in favour of it a resolution so passed shall be as valid as if it were passed at a duly held Council meeting.
e. The quorum for the Council meeting shall be formed with four present members. If the Quorum is not formed within 15 minutes of the appointed time of a meeting convened upon the requisition of the members the meeting shall stand dissolved, but in the case of other Council meetings. Under similar circumstances, it shall stand adjourned to a later hour in the same place and date, or at any other time and place as fixed by the President (or his substitute, if he is absent). At such adjourned meetings three members shall form the quorum for a valid meeting. Decisions on routine administrative or very urgent matters only shall be taken at such adjourned meetings.
