And you please read Policy 8.6.

FIDO have not majority system, it not need "majority from all
members". On this point of Policy write about majority from receive
(casting) votes.

 PL> Simply counted by "votes cast", supporting the idea that
those eligible to

 PL> That blows the whole "not enough people were involved to make the

Not to confuse FIDO and real life! FIDO is without quotas on voting or elections.
