Nitpick: it makes more sense to define inactivity based on time interval than number of meetings. For a group that meets every three months 6 meetings feels like an overly long time to recognize it as defunct.

It was intended to be both. The wording now could use some help.
"If 6 or more meetings in a row are missed or do not have a quorum of a majority of members present, the group will be considered inactive."
Intention: If meetings do not occur for 6 months or 6 meetings whichever is shortest a SIG will be considered inactive.
Assumptions:
- It is better to be generous and enforce marking groups as inactive publicly rather than conservative and lack consistency
- There is no cost for reactivation but activity and lack of activity are both public signals worth consideration
- We can revise over time. This is a first pass smell test standard.
