I clarified this with Ken offline - we are substantially talking about
bylaws amendments - my point is simply that the dynamic is equally
applicable to all votes, so we need to be careful across the board.

I think that this modification would be appropriate specifically for
amendments to the bylaws. We should still consider whether ten percent
to a minimum of ten is appropriate for all other votes (I think it isn't
bad, but might be a tad low...)
