Isn't that the same? The majority of 7 people is always 4+. Or are you
saying that we need the majority to attend to a vote and of that
majority again the majority?
The latter.
The latter doesn't sound that good, as you would end up with
passing
votes that are less than the majority. I would strictly stick to
having a majority quorum of positive votes compared to the full number
of members, irrespective of how many are attending the voting.
I feared/fear that we run into situations where members simply are not
present in votings or not really responsive even on the list; to avoid
that I copied how FESCo works/worked afaics. But well, you have a point,
too. I'll remove that cornercase for now, but will bring that quickly
bring up as adjustments if my fears should become true. Does that sound
sane?

Since the decisions of this committee are reported and ratified by
fesco, is this needed? This sounds like we do some work and get it
approved by fesco. And then two weeks later a fesco member returns
from vacation and quotes this sentence to undo everything.
It was more meant as clarification, but seems it is more confusing that
helping now that I look at it again. I'll take a look to make this more
clear later and will set a definite timeframe for a FESCo veto, to make
it more clear.
