If a voting member is recalled, it would be nice if the quorum became
six. It is also unclear if a voting volunteer refuses to cast a ballot,
how things are to be counted.
Why? With a quorum of 6, you still need 4 (a majority) to nominate a
candidate, the same number as if the quorum were 7. And with 1 member
recalled, you still have a group of 9 - which reduces the number of yes votes
needed to 5 if everyone shows up.
Hmm.
Instead - "The chair shall establish a date and time to complete a vote on a
specific candidate. A candidate is selected if 6 voting members vote yes or no
objection and at least three members vote yes by expiration of that date and
time, otherwise the candidate is rejected." Requiring a quorum actually makes
no sense these days given email and other electronic meeting tools.
