This is a co-op. We are all subject to the will of the vote. You may not like the vote result but you can't argue not to even have the vote.
This is true and not something I had considered, actually. Thank you for reminding me. I would imagine, however, that rather than throw in the towel the co-op would want to understand options and make all reasonable efforts to bring it back up to par. I would think that DZ/Thomas would have significant weight in recommendations due to involvement in all runs in the co-op.
Hoping the trip to China is fruitful. I hope you have a gift for them (something small). They love red and yellow and the number 8. No watches.
