Description
Calculate board attendance under a supplied vacancy-denominator policy.
Administrative records depend on policy dates, authorization scope, attendance denominators and accounting definitions. A calendar-date shift does not skip holidays, a quorum fraction is not a quorum decision, and a weighted voting fraction differs from economic ownership. Recorded signatory presence does not authenticate a signature or establish authority.
Calculate board attendance under a supplied vacancy-denominator policy.
When to use this tool
Use Board Quorum Vacancy Denominator when you already have authorizedSeats, vacantSeats, excludeVacancies, presentMembers and need to calculate board attendance under a supplied vacancy-denominator policy.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter authorizedSeats, vacantSeats, excludeVacancies, presentMembers. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read denominator, attendanceFraction. Use the output convention below.
Require positive safe authorized seats, vacancies within total and present members within occupied seats; denominator=authorized minus vacancies when selected, require denominator>0, return present/denominator.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| authorizedSeats | Authorized Seats | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| vacantSeats | Vacant Seats | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| excludeVacancies | Exclude Vacancies | Required. Boolean. |
| presentMembers | Present Members | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| denominator | Authorized seats minus vacancies when excludeVacancies=true; otherwise authorized seats. | Required. Safe integer. |
| attendanceFraction | Present members/selected denominator; no quorum threshold is selected. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- No quorum threshold is applied. Seats, attendance, governing documents, voting eligibility and legally valid quorum are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check controlled policies, meeting records, contracts and account definitions. Apply the complete applicable rules when actual approval, payment or governance matters; local version selection and arithmetic do not make those determinations.
