It can be whatever you want for your organization. I've seen 
associations say 5 people, 15 people, 30 people, etc. for general 
meetings. For board meetings I would suggest 50% of board members, 
but its up to you.

Thanks,
One QUESTION: Your suggested bylaws say:
"(must be a fixed number or number that can be calculated from a 
clear formula)."

What are examples of typical formulas, or what fixed number would you suggest?
