My first point is on the definition of the term Majority in the constitution. I fell that it may be more beneficial to define the majority as having to be at least 2/3 of the forum council. This would make it necessary for at least 6 members to be in agreement on a vote rather than just 5. It seems like a small difference, but I think it would show more solidarity on a the part of the forum council if we could say everything we pass is at least two thirds agreed upon. 4 out of 5 is almost a tie. If the council is that divided, more discusion is needed before the topic in question is decided upon. Tell me what you think. This applies to Article V section A and Article X.

I like that too. What we may want to go ahead and do is actually define the term majority as a 2/3 vote somewhere. then, whenever a majority is indicated, it will mean a 2/3 vote.
