Under what you suggest, Susan, no vote could be held unless all 105 registered 'members' were aware that a vote was to be held. No motion could be carried unless moe than half of them supported it. However, we have no ready way of knowing how many of the 105 still read the list and would therefore getting notice of any vote was to be held. We know if they actively unsubscribe, but we have no way of knowing if they simply die, move away, change their ISPs and e-mail addresses, or just lose interest and divert MUGLO mail to their spam folders. Thus we could be dependent on a quorum requirement impossible to meet. --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
