What is the average percentage of US citizens voting? And these elections
are not just "somebody proposes a motion - one more seconds - a brief
discussion by a third - and: calling the question."

In Cambodia we are in the range of around 80 to 90%.

I am waiting for the Panel to propose rules: who can call for a vote, and
under which conditions to be met first (panel? percentage of members? a certain
number of members signing a proposal first? etc.). 

To propose a motion and simply call for a vote among a membership of 1000
without any minimal requirements will have us preparing to vote, and voting
most of the time - as happened now for half a year. 

I cannot see this to be productive.
