Personally, I think the right answer might be some kind of "attendance

This is a very nice example of taking the current problem and looking for a way to make an underlying, relatively simple change that happens to cover the current problem... while also making things more robust.

We already have a version of what you describe, namely the 3-of-5 rule (which was changed, I believe, from 2-of-3.)

Rather than our having a rule based on two fixed attendance numbers, you are suggesting using a derivative rule for proportion. This makes the qualification generally more robust, where the possible anomaly of a Day Pass is covered almost as a side-effect.

(Kurt's latest posting suggests something that is, I think, entirely orthogonal to Ole's suggestion.)


It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a simple formula for the
coefficient and setting the threshold, but I have no doubt that we
could over-engineer that process too :-)

Your use of "could" is amusing, as if there were any doubt possible.

But seriously, a justified high cost of discussing this will be considering what it is that attendance ensures and how much of it is 'required' to be a useful Nomcom participant.

And folks think credit cards and taxis are a rat hole...
