I propose that section 1.11 of the bylaws be amended to read as follows:

Members representing ten percent (10%) of the voting power of the membership interests entitled to vote at a meeting of the members, or at least ten (10) members, whichever is less, are a quorum for the transaction of business.

I support Richard's proposal.

Not having quorum is a real governance problem, and if faced, it's a problem that the board and assembled members at the AGM would not be able to resolve. The only option would be to call a new meeting and hope for more attendees.

10 members seems sufficient to ensure there's reasonable oversight of business. And as Dean Bahls pointed out, nothing about this change would limit the ability of any member to participate.

Thanks to Richard for the proposal.
