Actually, the current bylaws require a two-thirds majority of *votes
returned*, with no quorum based on membership numbers.

I believe it was a serious mistake to have a single "up or down" vote
on the whole package.  I understand that the intent was to keep a
consistent package, but the individual articles should be able to
stand or fall on their own.  As it is, there is one item I cannot
accept, and that is the requirement that only U.S. and Canadian
citizens can be voting AERC members (no resident aliens).  As I must
vote yes or no on only the whole package, I must vote "no."
