A quorum for Proposal voting purposes is a simple majority of eligible vote-casting entities.

Proposals which require unanimous consent will fail if any eligible vote-casting entity casts a vote equivalent to a "no" toward the Proposal. On that condition, the Proposal will disregard the quorum and will not remain active or be held over for the next turn.

Vote-casting entities eligible but failing to cast votes during the voting period shall have their votes recorded as automatic abstentions.
