I move for the amendment of the bylaws. The patch against the current document is attached. Basically the amendment proposes that once an absolute majority is reached the voting period is to end immediately regardless of whether or not quorum was reached. The purpose of this amendment is to minimize parliamentary inefficiency by allowing votes with clearly decided outcomes to be resolved before the end of the established voting period. --Kaiting.
One of the stated purposes of the quorum is to "ensure that TUs remain active in the job that they have taken on." Allowing circumvention of the quorum requirements will obviously undermine that.
TU's have a lot of different responsibilities. Prolonging a decided vote by six days to motivate or ensure that someone is active does not make sense to me. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
