VOTE_QUORUM was misnamed in the paper and is misnamed in this implementation. What VOTE_QUORUM describes has nothing to do with the normal dictionary definition of a quorum. As-implemented (and as described in the paper), VOTE_QUORUM is the share of tokens voting in favor of a candidate (either a listing or applicant) for that candidate to prevail in a challenge. So it describes either the majority or minority of support necessary for the candidate to become/remain whitelisted.
Proposed new name: CANDIDATE_SUCCESS_THRESHOLD
