Unfortunately, the quorum parts of our bylaws will paralyze the organization 
if we do not purge "inactive" members.   For example, changes to the bylaws 
themselves require a majority of *all* members, not just voting ones.  With 
current levels of participation that will be impossible to achieve. 

I'd bet you that at least 15% of our membership has gone no-mail on the lists 
and is not even aware that they are still registered as members.
