I've revised the wiki to read:

"PMC roll call will be taken every 6 months. This is an email to dev@ w/the
simple question to pmc members of “are you active on the project and plan
to participate in voting over the next 6 months?”. *This is strictly an
exercise to get quorum count and in no way restricts ability to participate
during this time window. *A simple majority of this electorate becomes the
low-watermark for votes in favour necessary to pass a motion, with new PMC
members added to the calculation."


@Jonathan Haddad <j...@jonhaddad.com> / @Benedict Elliott Smith
<bened...@apache.org> - did I get that right?
