plenum

All members present

A plenum is a space completely filled with matter, or an enclosed chamber containing gas at higher pressure than the surroundings—as in building ventilation systems where air circulates through a pressurized space above a ceiling or below a floor.

In legislative contexts, a plenum is a meeting attended by all members of a body: The committee's recommendation goes to the plenum for final approval.
