Quorum is not used for votes such as these. The threshold is a majority or 2/3 of all directors. Alan At 30/09/2015 01:40 AM, Kavouss Arasteh wrote:

Someone mentioned that to me as well. It is incorrect. But I am not absolutely sure what the correct number is.
To amend the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws takes a 2/3 vote of the entire Board - 11 presuming all seats are filled. I would have thought that the threshold to dissolve is as high as that to amend the AoI. But I couldn't find that written anywhere.
According to the California Corporation Law, dissolution requires a majority of Directors to sign the certificate of dissolution, so presuming a full complement of directors, that would be 9.
So the correct answer is probably 9, but it could be 11.

One note, I have been given to understand that 5 members of the board (majority of a quorum) could even dissolve ICANN.
Can this be confirmed?
