Re: [802SEC] FW: Quorum



Mat,

	Given that the purpose of a Quorum is to make sure a significant
number of voters are in attendance, I am not sure this works.  If you
have half your regular attendance, which may be about half your voters,
you only have 25% of your voters in attendance.  Is that really okay?
Keep in mind, we can always send out an email ballot after the meeting.

	Another idea I heard Jerry suggest was to fix the current P&P so
that we can empower an interim at the previous plenary.  I guess it is
currently broken.

	I thought I was overwhelmed with your P&P changes.  Looks like
you keep coming up with new ones.  I assume these would be balloted
electronically.

Steve

Folks,

Mark Klerer suggested the rules change below.  I think it's a good idea
and I am thinking of fronting it for him.

Comments?

Matt

An idea on quorum rules:

In order to solve the quorum problem at interims I would and have
suggested that quorum be defined as 50% of the average number of
Participant members during the last 4 meetings (interim and plenary).
One could play around with whether it should be 3 or 4 meetings.

This will have the effect of more acurately reflecting acting and
ongoing participation and will not disenfranchise anyone.

Mark

Subject: [802SEC] LMSC Officer identification on Name Tags

Folks,

 

I've noticed that these days different groups follow different practices
about identifying the officers of their groups.  I'm of the opinion that
identifying officers is generally a good idea.  It makes it easier for
people to know who to talk to when they are not on stage.  I plan to
make a motion tomorrow that name badges for LMSC plenary sessions
identify LMSC officers at the WG level and above.  Any thoughts on that?

 

Mat
