find whether there is a quorum / the meeting is quorate


Explanation:
Difficult to phrase put of context, but here is another, token option using the 'well-known' adjective of quorate.



Example sentence(s):
  • if a meeting is quorate, there are enough people there to make official decisions by voting: The meeting only requires five attendees to be quorate
  • However, for an organisation’s executive committee it is common to find the quorum set at one more than half the number on the committee.

neutral  AllegroTrans: what's wrong with the first answer? isn't "find whether" better expressed as "determination"?

  -> Nothing, except - paradoxically - legalese, plus it's hard for me to break legal drafting of UK Arts. of Assoc. habits of a lifetime.
