I'd like to pick a nit here. The rules say "A quorum is required at 
other Working Group meetings... A quorum is at least one-half of the 
Working Group members." The quorum is for the meeting, not for the 
vote. The rules specify how many people have to be present, not how 
many have to be voting.

Robert's Rules agrees: "A Quorum of an assembly is such a number as 
must be present in order that business can be legally transacted. The 
quorum refers to the number present, not to the number voting."
