RE: [office] Questions and Answers - Asterisks, Attendance, and Issues Lists

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

My original suggestion was only to track non-attending Voting Members, in
addition to identifying those voting members among the attendees.  I
suggested this because it matters in regard to quorum determination and,
secondarily, because it makes visible the changing of Voting Member status
and is also in a completely-public place. 

I agree that tracking all members in the minutes is unworkable and also
unnecessary for any procedural purpose.

Actually, we are recording attendance. What we don't do is
1. to track in the minutes who of the attending TC members has voting 
rights and who has not
2. to track which TC members (with or without voting rights) are not 
attending

While marking who of the attending TC members has voting rights seems to 
be practicable, it seems not to be practicable to track the status of 
all TC members in the minutes. The ODF TC has 56(!) members. About 13 of 
them attend regularly to TC coordination calls.

We may track who has voting rights but is not attending. But this would 
also mean that we duplicate information that is present in KAVI at the 
time a meeting takes place, and that we maintain there, too.
