I think revisiting the quorum every three or five years would work. This should be based upon:
1 - Total number of Members 2 - Number of 'active' members (those that exercise their vote) 3 - Number of (unique) members that attend AIS 4 - Number of (unique) members that attend the year end meeting. The number of Members at (4) is probably the smallest. Right now - 30 for the AIS meeting period (and AGM) seems fine. 20 might be a better number with respect to the second meeting, if it hosts an SGM where quorum is needed. I simply don't know the real numbers. Fixed numbers are so much easier to deal with rather than percentages.
