PLEASE VOTE -- why?

that we have a definitive statement than for a motion to fail from lack of a quorum.


Because of the ill-conceived voting rules, it appears to be
more rational if those who oppose the motion don't vote.

For in that case, 37 Yes are needed for passing, while
if they vote No, only 19 Yes might suffice for passing.

Therefore, failing a quorum is proof of a poorly designed
Motion.

Those opposing the motion can still give the list their
reasons for not voting, if they like.
Then no information is lost.
