I think the outcome of this is that the Quanta constitution needs to make
it clear when talking about quorum that it is "members present in
person".
Perhaps one enhancement would be to expand this to say "members present
either in person or by telephone / video link".
That would at least enable members across the globe to take part and vote
in proceedings without having to send in proxy forms.
In one modern organization with which I recently volunteered, members
could
be present via telephone/internet, with the rule being that the person
must
be able to interact and ask questions and be heard as if they are present
to
be counted towards a quorum.
This was put in place as too many of the members lived in different
cities/countries.

Thanks to you and Rich for making this suggestion. It was something I had
not thought of, but which deserves consideration,
Best wishes,
Geoff
