"Name only" is this case means "care enough to fork over $20 in the past
12 months".

But yes when it comes to physical people attending the previous AGM, it
was close thing.  I believe it has always be that way as I recall Ray
Smith telling me stories of driving around before the AGM to collect
voting bodies.  

That was the motivation for my moving the modification to the
constitution that explicitly says: "Members voting via a proxy are
included in the quorum."  Effectively this allows the electronic voting
James was lamenting.  We exceeded the quorum by a fair margin when you
count proxies.
