At the moment, the GA Assembly has 291 voting members 
(http://www.dnso.org/secretariat/rosterindex.html).

For a resolution, an absolute majority of the members who bother to vote at 
all must support the resolution (no minimum quorum).

For a rule change, a quorum of at least 20% or 100 voters (the smaller of 
the two) is required, and the vote must have at least 2/3 majority.

We have rules.

(I also think that we have rough consensus on the contract issue, as 
Roberto reported. Even if we haven't voted on it yet).
