(2) If the number of members assembled for a meeting of the Corporation does not constitute a quorum therefor, the meeting shall not be held. If in the course of a meeting of the Corporation the number of members thereof present ceases to constitute a quorum, the meeting shall be terminated forthwith.
(3) If for lack of quorum a meeting cannot be held or, as the case may be, cannot continue, the Chairman shall, if he thinks fit, cause a special meeting to be summoned as soon as conveniently may be.
(4) If a meeting is quorate, but the members present who are business members are in a minority, a majority of such members present shall have the right to decide that an item of business be deferred to a subsequent meeting. No item may be so deferred more than once under this provision.
