The voting period should remain 7 days regardless of the current votes. It is
rude to others to exclude them from participation even if the outcome is

Once the voting period is over, the motion shall pass if either an absolute
majority were reached, or if a simple majority were reached with quorum.
This will allow all TUs to have their say if they so choose and it sidesteps
the issue of determining inactivity due to shortened voting periods while
preventing motions with absolute (i.e. insurmountable) majorities from
failing, which is what the real issue is here. Overall I think this is the
simplest solution.
Maybe one could go one step further and only declare a motion as passed
if there is an absolute majority after 7 days. (Meaning that more than
one half of the active TUs voted YES)
This would simplify the voting procedure a lot, but would higher the
barrier for a motion to pass. e.g. results that express mainly
indifference with a slight tendency to YES (like 5 yes, 4 no and 15
abstain votes) would no longer pass.
