[OSGeo-Conf] [Board] Amended MOTION (items 1-5): Conference Committee - Updating Membership Policies and Process

[Cameron Shorter]

+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.
