A 24 Hour Quorum is a 24 hour-long session (quorum) of the Grand Unified Micronational (GUM), consisting of delegates and often guests—non-delegates— that typically includes the donating of money to charity. Conceptualised around June 2012 by acting Chair Will Sörgel and coined on 14 August by GUM member Tom Turner, the first 24 Hour Quorum commenced between 14–15 August. A follow-up event occurred between 6–7 May 2017.
