How many members are needed for a quorum for any standing committee?

¶252.6 in the 2004 Book of Discipline, in reference to the church council, states, "The members present and voting at any duly announced meeting shall constitute a quorum." 

There is an exception for the board of trustees in ¶2531, "A majority of the members of the board of trustees shall constitute a quorum." 

For other committees not specifically mentioned in the Discipline, a quorum would depend on local church policies and procedures.
