Questions for Jeff, clarifying.
What is quorum requirement?
¾ of CC, allows one to block when we have a small CC
Discussion.
This could allow paralysis in the Party.
Would make it hard for the CC to operate.
2/3 rule would help build the party
This proposal comes from a one time CC decision
The CC has an administrative function, so simple majority works.
