RE: [orms] Attendee list of aborted ORMS TC telecon 2008-06-11

Since the call was never convened, it doesn’t count towards anything. That said, the OASIS TC Process does allow for a meeting to proceed in the absence of a Chair since it defaults to Robert’s Rules anything that isn’t explicitly stated in the process. The appropriate rule can be found in Section 47:

Temporary Occupants of the Chair:

(typing partially here)

If the president is absent, the chair is occupied temporarily by another ... as follows: ...

3) An elected chairman pro tem. If neither the president nor any vice-president is present, the secretary - or in the secretary's absence some other member - should call the meeting to order, and the assembly should immediately elect a chairman pro tem to preside during that session. Such office is terminated by the entrance of the president or vice-president, or by the election of another chairman pro tem. ...

Since that didn’t happen and the meeting wasn’t called to order, no attendance can be recorded.

Regards,

Mary

Given the aborted call, should this meeting count towards voting rights? I am biased (I didn't even call in) but have no problem either way.

Hi,

I was not able to get into the call either, JJ Moortgat AOL. I did want to share this web page with the group, if it has not been circulated. It's a useful design pattern from Yahoo on Reputation and good reading for our continued research:
