Thanks for your replies and explanations which clarifies what I asked.

If a person submits an Apology or a meeting, how is it recorded?

Is it counted as an attendance because they have made the effort to advise that they will not be attending as against a person who does not make the effort to advise anyone of their intentions?

An example is where an organisation has a rule for committee members to attend at least 50% attendance at meetings and that member attends 20 Meetings, 20 Apologies and 4 Non attendances.

Can it be deemed under those circumstance that they have not met the 50% requirement as there are actually 24 meetings not attended or 40 attendances and 4 Non attendances.
