Easy enough to read up.


Wikipedia:

"[...] rather than speaking of a two-thirds majority the unambiguous
phrases such as "two-thirds of those present and voting", "two-thirds
of those present" (which has the effect of counting abstentions as
votes against the proposal), or "two-thirds of the entire membership"
[...] are used."

Statutes:

"(2) Decisions concerning the admission of new Members (section III.
paragraph 4), the exclusion of Members (section VII, paragraph 2), the
determination of the annual affiliation fee (section XVI, paragraph 1)
and the amendment of this Statutes (section XX), shall be passed by a
two thirds majority OF THE VOTES CAST. "
