  3. Quorum rule changes. Remove non active members from the quorum rule. Bylaw wording. Currently:

Full Members have the option at any time to become Non-Voting Members, or thereafter to re-activate as a voting Full Member, by emailing our voting account (vote@pumpingstationone.org) or notifying the Board of Directors. Non-Voting Members will not be counted when calculating whether quorum has been reached.

Full Members who have not attended a meeting or voted by proxy or in absentia for three consecutive months will automatically become Non-Voting Members until they re-activate by either voting or attending a meeting. Non-Voting Members who become Non-Voting by choice are eligible to vote on any issue without revoking their Non-Voting status.

Board members are not eligible to become Non-Voting Members. Records of member attendance and voting will be maintained by the Secretary.

As a convenience, Non-Voting Members *can* opt-in to voting for any issue without revoking their Non-Voting status. They will count toward quorum for any vote in which they participate.
