I would agree ... this sets a more reasonable
expectation relative to managing conflicts.

Steve Hanna and I believe that
it would be best to relax the attendance requirement to 3 out of 4, and
to provide for automatic reinstatement once the required attendance
has been re-met.

Subject: [chairs] TC attendance rules
One area where we have some clear early
feedback on the April 2005 TC Process revisions is in the area of meeting
attendance. Under the current rule -- omitting the special case of
TCs who have no meetings, and only count ballots -- a TC member can lose
their voting rights by missing meetings:
A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting
rights. In TCs that hold meetings, the Voting Member must attend two of
every three Meetings, with attendance recorded in the minutes. * * * Voting
Members who do not participate in two of every three Meetings * * *shall
lose their voting rights but remain as Members of the TC. A warning may
be sent to the Member by the Chair, but the loss of voting rights is not
dependent on the warning. * * * [1]
We're actively discussing two changes in response to early feedback.
First, the new rule -- which takes away voting rights after
two proximate absences without an explicit notice -- is harsher than the
prior rule [2], which included a notice prior to the status change. Several
have suggested this is too harsh. Possibilities include
-- reinstating the notice (that is, you cease to vote after
2 misses out of 3 PLUS a notice), or
-- lowering the bar (such as, you cease to vote after 3 misses
out of 4).
The Board's process subcommittee is reviewing this issue in June, and your
comments are welcome.
Second, instead of requiring that a person who has lost voting
rights explicitly re-apply, we are considering making the simpler default
assumption that anyone who loses their vote should be automatically re-queued
to re-gain it. That would allow us to simply the rosters, and delete
the superfluous role "probationary voting member". All
TC members would either be "voting members", or simply "members"
who will reacquire their vote when their attendance again merits it. Again,
your comments are welcome.
