What is required to adopt a standing rule in a meeting?

To adopt a standing rule in a meeting, a majority vote is required. Standing rules are often procedural in nature and guide the conduct of meetings or the operations of an organization. They are not typically as formal or stringent as other types of motions or resolutions, which may require a higher threshold for approval.

A majority vote means that more than half of the members present voting are in favor, allowing for efficient decision-making while still ensuring that there is sufficient support for the rule being adopted. This allows organizations to maintain flexibility and respond to the needs of the group without the need for exhaustive consensus or extreme voting thresholds.
