Guest Ian Posted November 12, 2010 at 02:51 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 at 02:51 AM Given the importance of votes, if a Committee member misses two consecutive meetings and/or provides no feedback to two or more e-mails requesting input/feedback[even an acknowledgement the E-mail was received],should they be removed from the committee?

Rev Ed Posted November 12, 2010 at 03:14 AM Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 at 03:14 AM It would really depend on why the member has missed two meetings. If the date/time of the meeting conflicts with other issues (like work) then it may not be the member's fault for not attending the meetings. However, if the member simply cannot be bothered to attend, that is a different issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The committee can report its findings on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Martin Posted November 13, 2010 at 07:50 PM Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 at 07:50 PM No. it would not.Please provide a citation for that.I'm sure Rev Ed is delving into the realm of his personal opinion on ethics again, and it would be advisable if he makes this clear in the future (or avoids it altogether), so that posters seeking answers do not mistakenly believe that such opinions are a part of parliamentary law.
