 enacting new policies needs a 2/3 super majority. As you cited those had
 options to reject the policy and keep the status quo.
 > I interpret it as enacting a policy effectively requires a 2/3
 supermajority if there is only one proposal (no alternatives) and no
 abstentions.  (Abstentions seem to have the interesting effect of diluting
 reject/no-action votes.)

 the "b. I do not approve of the proposal." option.  Similarly, for the
 membership policy vote, I think the "take no action" option would have
 been "B. I reject the attached proposal."

 Yep, I agree with all of this. I think we should be aware of, and maybe
 help voters be aware of too, the fact that the "no" option in these votes
 only needs 1/3 of the votes to be the winner.
