Right. Since the definition of "active contributor" includes "has maintained a valid email address in their registration profile and responds to a request to vote within 3 weeks", then people who do not vote do not count as active. A 2/3 majority voting in favor is not an easy threshold by any means, but I don't think it would be any more difficult for OSMF to *conduct* the vote than it is to conduct the board election.
