Hi,
I want to discuss our notions of "activity". According to the current bylaws, [...]
This discussion starts to get messy. Now there are three different threads discussing the same thing, basically. Could we please concentrate on the current proposal and the related discussion before initiating a new one?
Also, you still didn't comment on the suggestion to remove the activity part from the quorum computation altogether. Please read Sébastien's reply (and follow-ups) to my proposal. The quorum is meant to ensure that a result is representative. If 60% of all TUs are inactive, we can currently establish a quorum of 100%. This does not seem right to me. Also, dropping the activity restriction makes things a lot easier, so this gets a +2 from me...
A simple majority of 51% isn't a consensus among the team, regardless of how many people voted. I don't think proposals should pass at all when nearly half of us object. Rather than the quorum, we could require a super-majority (60%, 70%) of the trusted users to vote YES and handle inactivity removals separately. If 8 people are on vacation, it's not a good time to be passing proposals.
