[Community-Discuss] Accountability assessment - quorum

[Saul Stein]

A percentage is good. However, I think that one needs to specify if a
quorum can include online participants and then how to carer for the
voting...
As the stats show, a large number of people voted, but might night have
been present and a number of onsite votes were probably proxies (although
that would count towards a quorum)

Is hard-wiring the numbers really a good idea as opposed to a percentage
(of something or the other)?

Just thinking of a way to fix the quorum even if active membership were to
double in a year or two.
