A plurality isn't good enough. A clear consensus is what you need -- since
SPI is now composed of disparate parts, you can't take action which would
affect all member organizations just on the basis of a 50.5% majority.
You need buy-in from *all* constituent groups individually, as well as a
majority of members. Otherwise, the associated organizations who just
joined will leave.
