As our membership has grown, we now have seen that an growing variety of Contributing, Managing, and Fellow members with indefinite membership don’t have interaction with our annual election, making quorum tough to achieve.
An election that doesn’t attain quorum is invalid. This is able to trigger the entire voting course of to be re-held in addition to create an undue quantity of effort on the a part of the PSF Employees.
