A quorum shall be at least three members. No action may be taken without the participation of at least one of the nonlawyer members unless the panel, committee or division expressly determines that no nonlawyer member is available and that the public interest requires that the proceeding go forward. If a quorum is not present at any session, the chair or presiding officer may schedule the session for a different time.
