I can see a 2/3 requirement, for example. But how could one or two A10 members dictate policy for the entire conference? Does anyone know the facts?

I actually forget the specifics. It also depends on what's being voted on. When it comes to deciding something like where to host the conference tournament it's a simple majority. When it comes to something like adding new members or changing/adding to the bylaws, it's either unanimous or over 75%.
It differs from conference to conference on how the voting works, or what it is that they even vote on.
