Six DDs can force a vote, but not necessarily a decision. Would a
higher quorum help to ensure that divisive issues remain moot unless
there is broader interest?
A quorum of 48 voters may satisfy a statistician, but 125 might ensure
in addition that the issue being decided is in fact "of central
importance."
