I think that would always leave it open for debate what level of  
attendance actually constitutes a quorum at any moment, to me pick a  
reasonable number and have that be the quorum.  You would not want to  
make a million dollar decision and then have someone like me say that  
the meeting did not actually meet the criteria set in the constitution  
so to me a agreed upon number would always be preferable.  I think it  
should not be higher than 20 and not less than 12 but who am I to  
say.  In addition, if we want to be sticky, we could review annually  
what constitutes a quorum to better reflect actual membership  
participation.  Generally quorums are set so that members of a board  
or organization can not take advantage of a poorly attended meeting by  
passing something the majority would have rejected.
