Quorum means a minumum number of members voting for the vote to be valid. Only a simple majority is needed after that. The Quorum in this case was 100%. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum for further explanation. This vote passed quite handily. At 72% approval a strong message is being conveyed.
