Yes, we should drop completely the active statement. This will simplify computation and restore the purpose of the quorum!
"requirement for a quorum is protection against totally unrepresentative action in the name of the body by an unduly small number of persons." (c) Wikipedia If you think the quorum is too high, it's better to reduce it (or remove it). Currently it's 66%, that means 33% of voters can be in holidays, in hospital, in travels and don't have in a 2 weeks time frame a way to read some mails and vote. In absolute it means : 12 TUs on 36 doesn't have time to vote. So, to take a decision we need at least 13 voters ((36-12)/2+1) on 36 TUs. That means we need a bit more than 33% of the total TUs to have a motion pass. I'm not sure it's necessary to change this. What you suggest is automatic hijacking of the quorum, in purpose to reducing the number of voters. With the new system, we can have a motion pass with 1 voters if every TU goes a the next fosdem :) Cheers, -- Sébastien "Seblu" Luttringer https://www.seblu.net GPG: 0x2072D77A
