Wouldn't that make it all vulnerable to a select few?

Good point but I think it's important to eliminate as much power in the hands of a few as possible without destroying the participatory intent. I think the bylaw change provision ensures bylaw access in and of itself, while a participatory requirement c/would discourage possible power plays.

It doesn't have to be 50%, I just used that as an example, but I do think it has to be greater than those who show up, at least for the interim.
