OASIS TGF TC - ATTENDANCE & VOTING RIGHTS

Attendance at out TC meetings is beginning to drop off a little and I feel it only right that I remind everybody of their attendance obligations to retain voting rights. Below is the relevant extract from the TC Policy and Procedures and basically anyone missing two consecutive meetings looses their voting rights. To regain them you must attend two consecutive meetings.

2.4.4 Voting Member:

(a) After the first Meeting of a TC, a Member shall gain voting rights at the close of the second consecutive Meeting attended by the Member or, if less than two Meetings are called within 60 days after the person becomes a Member, at the close of that 60th day. OASIS Individual Members and the representatives of OASIS Organizational Members are equally eligible to serve as Voting Members of a TC.

(b) A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. In TCs that hold Meetings, a Voting Member who is absent from two consecutive Meetings (as recorded in the minutes) loses his or her voting rights at the end of the second Meeting missed. If a TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by electronic ballot, without Meetings, then a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot in two consecutive Specification Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the close of the second ballot missed.

(c) A TC Member who has lost his or her voting rights shall regain them for a TC that holds Meetings by attending two consecutive Meetings (as recorded in the minutes), thus regaining voting rights after the end of the second Meeting attended or, if less than two Meetings are called within 60 days after the loss of such rights, at the close of that 60th day. A Member of a TC that does not hold Meetings may regain voting rights by making a request to the chair(s) to regain them, effective at the close of the 60th day after the request.

(d) Voting Members who lose their voting rights remain 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.

Our next formal TC meeting is set for June 16^th at 19.30 CEST and this will count towards voter eligibility. We have a working call next Tuesday 24^th May but this will not count towards eligibility. If you wish to check your current status please take a look at the TC Roster on KAVI.
