quorum (plural quorums or quora)

1. The minimum number of members required for a group to officially conduct business and to cast votes, often but not necessarily a majority or supermajority.

   We can discuss the issue tonight, but cannot vote until we have a quorum.

2. A selected body of persons.

The plural quora is sometimes objected to on the grounds that it is not grammatically correct: in Latin quorum is a plural pronoun, not a singular noun.
