Proposal to remove inactives from RA

[schweizweld]

I propose that RA members who miss 4 votes in a row without giving notice be removed from the RA for inactivity.

 

[Cove]

That is the current rule. Anyone who misses 4 consecutive votes without having a leave of absence are removed.

4 consecutive votes over a minimum 20 day period, to be specific.

Check out this link if you'd like to see the current membership and their missed votes.

It might be a better approach to look at the quorum rules.

Simply change the rules that a 'majority' (50%+1) consists of the total number of RA members actually voting Aye, Nay or Abstain.

Remove RA members after one full calender month of inactivity on the forum, or failure to respond to a "Roll Call" PM after seven (7) days.

Here's who it would work:


The Speaker can call a "Roll Call" at any time via Private Message and Thread in the RA section of the forum. Any RA member who doesn't respond within seven (7) days via a "Present" notification in the respective thread, is excluded from voting during a given calender month. Should an RA member not respond for an entire calender month, they are removed. A 'Roll Call' is started on the first day of every month.

Eh, I think that would unfairly penalize people who are away for that one particular week, and would also place a much greater burden on the Speaker's office. As it stands, Elu's set up some nice helpful scripts that keep us notified when people fail to meet the requirements - forcing a manual PM message and manual tracking of everyone who responds would be frustrating, as well as take up a huge amount of PM space (~70 PMs at least once a month, whereas in comparison right now I get maaaaaybe one a month).
