Article Three, Members of the Foundation, Section 7: Quorum

For purposes of any election or written ballot, a quorum of the Listener-Sponsor Members shall be ten percent (10%) of those Listener-Sponsor Members entitled to vote on the matter as of the applicable record date. A quorum of the Staff Members shall be one-fourth (1/4) of those Staff Members entitled to vote on the matter, as of the applicable record date. A quorum for any action requiring the approval of "the Members", as opposed to a separate vote by each class of Members, shall be 10% of all Members entitled to vote on the matter as of the applicable record date.

Textual note from EWG:

In the original Bylaws text the second sentence of this section reads: "A quorum of Staff Members shall be one-third (1/4) of those Staff Members entitled to vote..." This has been corrected to read: "one-fourth (1/4) of those Staff Members...""

To cite Carol Spooner: "the intent was for the staff quorum to be 1/4. And that was the decision of the Elections Supervisor this year [2003] after conferring with me (the bylaws committee chair) about the historical development of the bylaws."
