Guest J Korte Posted March 12, 2017 at 05:10 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 at 05:10 PM What would constitute meeting attendance? signing in then leaving shortly after. signing in and leaving half way through meeting. showing up late. Nothing in bylaws addresses this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted March 12, 2017 at 05:18 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 at 05:18 PM Nothing in RONR hinges on attendance or signing in. If something in your rules hinges on attendance or signing in, then your rules should define attendance. If they don't, well, your organization will need to determine what attendance means for its purposes, but I tend to think you'd be on shaky ground if, without having anything in your rules, you decided to penalize someone for lack of attendance who was there for even an instant.

Transpower Posted March 13, 2017 at 02:00 PM Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 at 02:00 PM Tangential to the query, after a quorum is determined (or announced by the chair), at the start of the meeting, it is assumed to continue until and unless a member or the chair notices that a quorum is no longer preset. See RONR (11th ed.), p. 349. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seems to think that attendance at a meeting is like the Frank Sinatra song, "All or Nothing at All". There is no rule in Robert's Rules which cares "how much" meeting one attends. There is nothing in Robert's Rules which implies that "attendance of some fraction N" implies "attendance of the entire meeting." One could indeed attend a meeting for 30 seconds. -- Perhaps 1/120th of the whole meeting.-- Less than one percent of the whole meeting. *** If your organization needs to know such data, then your organization will have to customize the rule and create the criteria.

Guest Perry Posted August 5, 2019 at 03:12 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 at 03:12 PM What does Robert's Rule state about making up missed meetings? (Time frame to make a meeting up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
