No, it is an attendance quorum. It means we cannot take a decision if too many members are missing. The vote is at majority (50%). > - It means that companies that have two representatives on the board (currently Intel and 6WIND) effectively have a veto. See above, 50% avoid such veto. > - A minor point, but whatever level we decide on should be expressed as a percentage so that it's applicable if/when the board size changes. Yes, that's why I've suggested in the charter a 70% quorum if I remember well (but I cannot find it anymore and history is disabled).
