Re: [802SEC] Proposed rule change for in person attendance requirement.

We discussed this when we formed the text – whether we needed to say ‘meetings where in-person attendance was offered…’ but decided to that emergency cases such as we dealt with under covid should be covered under the chairs discretion or other emergency rules at the time. Odds are that the next emergency will be different from the last…

We do need to somehow address one potential corner case...

 

Due to COVID, 7 consecutive plenaries (and a corresponding number of interims) were virtual only.  If that happens again under this proposal, we'll all lose our voting rights, and nobody will be able to gain voting rights during that time.

 

We can have a blanket waiver for losing the voting rights, but the gaining of voting rights is a bit more complicated.

A question arose this morning regarding the proposed change.  I think I know the answer but would appreciate verification/denial. 

Someone attends this week virtually. Still counts because the current rules say it's credited attendance.

They attend the May wireless interim (or any other credited interim) in person.  Thus they are eligible to become a WG voter at the start of the July plenary.  Do they need to attend July in person?

From my reading  we have not added "in person" requirement for July in this scenario.

 

Additional comment: in the summary slides someone put something suggesting attending 1.5 meetings per year in person was what is required.  While I thought that was clear Sunday, quite a few people became confused, thinking this was saying attending 50% of a meeting had value.  We should take that off the slide.  THe part that says 2 one year and 1 the next is sufficient and not wrong. 

 

FWIW
