For us, quorum is like half plus 1 or something of the entire group in order to make decisions and out of that half, like half of those need to be officers.... it's been awhile for me and my memory is a bit hazy but I can ask my active sisters about it.

Ditto the consult a lawyer. When we first incorporated, we got help from a sister's uncle who was a lawyer. Last year when we re-incorporated the sister who did it got help from her dad who used to be a practicing lawyer. She said it would've been really difficult otherwise.
And Quorum is usually 2/3 vote from the active membership. The president usually does not vote. And those on poor standing usually do not vote. These are things you need to address in your constitution.
