That is not the case; my post on Friday simply notes that there is
not a "10% member requirement" for a quorum (as was asserted),
and further than our election is by electronic ballot per ARIN's Bylaws.
The Bylaws do not specify a quorum requirement; they provide for
mandatory electronic notice of the membership of candidates
(although we've actually been given 3 additional election reminders
as well).

I don't know why myself; perhaps only now everyone's caught up with reading
the Bylaws.
