It was pointed out to me that introduction of proxies would most
likely require reinstatement of section 3.11:
https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/htdocs/foundation/en/bylaws.xml?revision=1.1&view=markup#l271
This would be an intrusive modification of the bylaws, so I retract
my proposal a) above.

My motion therefore is only to lower the member quorum in section 3.9
to the default value provided by the law, namely 1/10:

| Except as otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of
| Incorporation or by these Bylaws, one-tenth (1/10) of the members
