Jack proposed to reduce quorum requirements to 33%
Anna commented that this would lower the cost of other forces attempting to take over the CC, which may not be an issue now, but could b an issue before. Suggested that before we reduce the quorum requiremnt, we allow voting by email, or on a website.
George commented that he had been waiting for us to get quorum to be appointed, and that it is obviously an issue on the operating of this committee. His union operated with a 25% quorum requirement.
Craig commented that the business of the committee is restricted to slating candidates and appointing CCs to vacant seats.
Jack commented that there is not much risk until the election in 2012.
Alberto suggested that we could put the quorum requirement back to 50% is we saw that alot of unknown, unfriendly people were running for CC offices.
Kip observed that the people who were elected and then were not participating were possibly hostile
Nathan Kantrowit suggested we go to vote.
Anna said that her concerns were addressed by the comments made on the.
