**Why the Voting Module Above?** - The voting module above is to quickly capture participants, not a YES or NO on whether testing will or will not happen, as that was already unanimously decided. - The vote will actually collect the names as it’s been set to “Show Who Voted” for Volunteer Options - Not to vote on whether we should or should not test. - It will also show the results immediately - meaning we don’t need to wait until Sunday to see you want in. Click “YES” if you want to Volunteer 🙂 - The LABEL “Participate” is meant to capture this in a manner that identifies this as a proposal to participate, not to execute 😉 ---

Perhaps someone can clear up a lack of understanding on my part: So, it has been said that no matter what, the community will be able to vote. Sounds good. It has also been my understanding that holders of council tokens will have a monopoly on creating proposals. It seems to me that a logical conclusion could be that if these council holders never have a quorum, the community will never have a vote and thus nothing will proceed. I imagine this can’t be the case because that would be inane; however, can someone help me understand how this potentiality could be mitigated or prevented? Thanks. ---
