"Die Kommission gibt sich eine Verfahrensordnung, in der inbesondere die Präsenz- und ***Konsensquoren***, die Sitzungsperioden, die Formen der Einberufung der Sitzungen sowie die Vorschriften über das Verfahren geregelt werden."
Bedeutung: Anzahl der Anwesenden, die für einen Beschluss stimmmen müssen, damit dieser gültig ist.
Im Deutschen scheint mir der Begriff sehr geläufig zu sein, ich finde aber keine englische Entsprechung!
Danke für jede Hilfe!

the quorum necessary for the adoption of resolutions
It's how I would do it, and so far the other suggestions don't really make it clear what is actually meant

: None of the 621 Google hits for this combination is actually used in this sense.

David Wright
: This would indeed work if the German were equally general, but it is specific about two defined quora, and I think the translation needs to be too.

: agree with David. There are two different requirements mentioned, so we need to be specific

quorum for voting/ taking decisions
The quorum is the number of persons necessary for a meeting to take place or business be transacted.
In this case it seems that the numbers may differ. ie a meeting can be held provided the Präsenzquorum (quorum for meeting) has been met, but decisions can only be taken if there are sufficient numbers present for the Konsensquorum(quorum for voting/ taking decisions/ passing resolutions/ transacting business - depending on exact contect) to be met.
You could also use the adjective:
the numbers required to be quorate for meeting or passing resolutions
