Summary
A proposed change to DB1R clarifies that the two‑thirds threshold refers to two‑thirds of all members rather than two‑thirds of members present; the committee accepted the clarification.
Chris Sloan described a wording change in DB1R that replaces a previous numeric expression with a clearer reference to the 'state formula' and clarifies quorum/tally language. He explained the policy language intends to require two‑thirds of all members (0.667 of all members) rather than two‑thirds of those present.
