Here are the number of votes cast during recent Board elections.  The number of on-site votes gives a good idea of the number of members who attended the meetings.

                2013	2014	2015	2016
E-Votes	        58	59	49	183
On-Site Votes	45	66	77	62
TOTAL      	103	125	126	245

Given these attendance figures, I suggest a quorum requirement of 30 resource members in the future.
