If we would require a quorum (in the sense of Anthony Towns draft,
i.e. we would require some minimal total number of votes) INSTEAD
of a supermajority, I would like this:
1) Implementing a quorum seems to have a lower risk of damaging
Condorcet voting, than the discussed supermajority strategies have.
2) We control the set of voters via the NM process, so we may hope that
voters know what they are doing. And if a majority of voters is
convinced that we should do something, it will make sense, won't it?
