+0 for 50% Quorum for conference committee votes. Cameron.
I'd prefer there to be no required quorum, and to trust the judgment of
the conference chair to ensure sufficient votes. However 50% is better
than 100%, and I consider a reasonable compromise.
If introducing a quorum, then there will need to be a way to remove
people who don't vote, and hence maintain an active committee.
