Re: [wsbpel] proposal on reducing status of members who "consistently" missmeetings

[Diane Jordan <drj@us.ibm.com>]

Thanks Peter.  
This is no longer relevant as all those
who had been warned have taken appropriate actions (either requesting loa
or attending).   
I would like some feedback from the
tc on whether they'd like to see enforcement of the "consistently
missing 2 out of 3 meetings" and, if so,  what rules should be
used to define consistent as the OASIS process leaves this vague.

Subject	[wsbpel] proposal on reducing status of members who "consistently" miss meetings

Following the discussion this morning, the
following resolution is proposed for consideration on Thursday:
 
Diane has recently warned all members who
have received 3 warnings this year for missing 2 out of 3 meetings, and
have missed at least 4 of the 11 meetings that they were liable to be deemed
to be a "member [who] consistently
fails to be present during the roll call of two of every three meetings",
and thus reduced to Observer status. It is proposed that if any such member
fails to participate in the current face-to-face, by phone or by physical
presence, they should be downgraded to Observer at the end of this meeting.
 
---- 
from the discussion (and subject to correction)
 
   the
concept of "consistently fails to be present ..." is in the procedures,
but is not strictly defined.
 
  Diane originally said in her warning
message that these people be deemed to be on Leave of Absence. However,
this is beyond the powers of the chair or tc - LOA is something that a
member can ask for but cannot be imposed
 
  the intent of the action would be
to increase the chance of reaching quorum, which is especially difficult
for face-to-face meetings.
 
  Diane did not identify the members
in question to the TC
 
 (Peter: to receive 3 warnings would
seem to require missing 6 meetings out of 11)
 
Peter
