@Andrés Cuesta If you send the envelope to 5 Recipients but only require 3 for the envelope to be considered complete, then you would need to monitor the envelope, wait for the appropriate number of Recipients to sign and correct the envelope to remove the other 2 Recipients who have not yet signed. Removal of the 2 Recipients in this situation would, once the correction was saved, cause the envelope to be completed.

We have done some work with Signing Groups to make certain situations happen where we group 2 people in one Signing Group and then another 2 into another Signing Group and use those Signing Groups as Recipients so that 1 person out of the 2 has to take action. Just providing as an alternative so that constant monitoring wouldn’t be required.

Hi Christopher, we have the same question as the OP.  Right now, manual monitoring for quorum and “correcting” the envelope is our only option, which as you can imagine adds some administrative burden.  I hope there is a proper quorum feature built in the future. 

But even right now if the status can display how many have signed, it would alleviate some of this administrative burden.  Currently, status only displays “Needs to sign”, but displaying something more specific like “3 out of 5 have signed” or “2 out of 5 needs to sign” would be a good visual indicator of progress of the signing process, instead of the constant manual checking.

Use of the signing groups is interesting, but sounds like it only works if one signer is designated that can sign on behalf of the entire group - this would be different if 3 out of 5 need to sign for quorum.

I would like to add my voice to the requests for a ‘Majority Approval’ ability on Docusign.  Eg, I would like to send an envelope to 12 people, and once 7 people have signed, the document is approved and can be closed.  Correcting the envelope to remove unwanted signatories is only a work-around, not a solution.
