This PR adds a sentence that updates voting and quorum section of the decision-making guide to indicate that the standards described in the guide should be considered minimum standards for voting and quorum in each council in Project Jupyter.
The background for this change is that in the Executive Council, we recently had a conversation about creating internal EC bylaws (presumably listed on our team compass) that spell out attendance, quorum, and vote passage requirements that are more stringent than those described in the decision-making guide. Our intuition was that this sort of change on a council-by-council basis is compatible with the governance docs, but we didn't find enough in the decision-making guide to support that conclusion.
