Active vs Observer participants
All, the large number of participants in the Concordia DG makes achieving quorum for our various votes difficult. To facilitate managing quorum, going forward, we will distinguish between two categories of participants: ACTIVE & OBSERVER ACTIVE status affords members voting rights. Maintaining this status requires regular participation in all DG balloting and regular attendance on our telecons or an approved workaround. (The workaround is to support those whose schedule conflicts with our scheduled calls.) OBSERVER members do not have voting rights and so do not affect the numbers needed to achieve quorum. Removing OBSERVERs from the quorum count allows the working group to effectively conduct business. OBSERVERs may change to ACTIVE voting members either by attending a telecon (and indicating their desire for ACTIVE status) or by making other arrangements with the chair . OBSERVERs have every right to contribute to discussions and raise issues - the only constraint is voting. If necessary, any ACTIVE participant who misses 2 scheduled teleconferences may, at the discretion of the chair, be categorized as OBSERVER. (I'd prefer we not need to track this) If you wish to remain ACTIVE, please reply to this mail (ideally cc'ing Joni Brennan) by the end of this week to indicate so. If I do not receive your reply you will be categorized as OBSERVER (with the mechanisms described above to regain voting rights at your disposal) Thanks Paul p.s. all caps too much? Or did they give the right sense of gravitas? -- Paul Madsen e:paulmadsen @ ntt-at.com m:613-282-8647 web:connectid.blogspot.com ConnectID <http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/gMwy/%7E6/1>

So yet another list that requires fee paying telcon attendance? Non voting because the cost of the telcon is too much, yet you refuse to use skype. I'm out. Even without your ill mannered UPPERCASE :-) DaveP 2009/10/5 Paul Madsen <paulmadsen@rogers.com>
