   I cannot recall an election in which anything close to 50% of the
   eligible voters actually voted.   That is why I think a 50% quorum
   or anything close to that is too high.

   It is not just 1 out of 10.  It is 10% of the RCs, and then again 10%
   of all *Cs in two separate stages.

   In any event, if the RCs are not comfortable with the 10% quorum
   figures, they can change them to something on which they can reach a
   majority acceptance.

   Would you support 15%?  20%? 25%?  Where is your level of comfort?
