Revise the Threshold to Change the 75% Supermajority Rule
Discussion
Our official boycott policy of 75% supermajority was meant to foster cooperation and unity. In order to ensure the coop’s boycott policies are consistent with the desires of the majority of its members, any reduction of the 75% supermajority threshold (currently enshrined in the Guide to the General and Annual Meetings) should require a 75% supermajority vote a the GM, rather than just a majority vote (the default standard for most votes taken at the GM, including votes to amend the Guide).
