Which just points to a lower fraction, not to absolute numbers.

I understand that you and Scott both think the same thing - although I
don't understand why, I'll ask the question in a different way - is using
the term "5/8 of the voting members" an acceptable phrase? As long as we
have 8 voting members, that translates to 5 members.

For those who want to see what they are discussing under different
scenarios, here is the number of people needed to remove the chair with
varying fractions and varying number of members of the IAOC:

Number   Out of 8  Out of 7 Out of 6 Out of 5
3/4        6          6        5        4
2/3        6          5        4        4
5/8        5          5        4        4


Suggestion: Instead of "2/3 of the voting members", why not just say "2/3 of the voting members, excluding the chair". So if the IAOC is at full strength, it takes 5 people to remove the chair.
