Chapter and verse from the rulebook, I think:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-2010-07-28.php#meetings

2.10 TC Meetings

[...]

Without a Quorum present discussions may take place but no business may be
conducted; those present may act as a "Committee of the Whole" as defined in
Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, and make a report to the entire TC.
Attendance must be recorded in the meeting minutes. ***Meetings without
Quorum shall still count towards attendance for purposes of Members gaining,
maintaining, or losing voting rights.***
