2. Because we have many ALS which are either dormant or inactive (for lack
of a better word), if their dormancy affect such important decisions like
the vote that went out, is it time to consider what to do with the dormant
ALSes? Would one such approach be tor purge them?

This is a very important point to consider. This is a shame that we did not
reach quorum and we should make sure we solve the issue as stated by
Mwendwa. How many ALSes do we have? How many of them are active on the
list? The best way to ask consensus would be to consider the ALSes that are
active on the list because some may probably be using email adresses they
are not reading very often and may have missed this vote. Or some, after
registering their organizations are no longer interested in ICANN or maybe
officials have changed with the new ones knowing anything about ICANN, etc.

I suggest staff to conduct a survey (or a membership renewal type of thing)
targetting all ALSes and see those who are active and these might be the
ones to be involved in upcoming votes.
