4. Slacker marks

Rationale

To ensure that the council stays active, the chosen metastructure model says that if a council member (or their appointed proxy) fails to show up for two consecutive meetings, they are marked as a slacker.

If a council member who has been marked a slacker misses any further meeting (or their appointed proxy doesn't show up), they lose their position and a new election is held to replace that person. The 'slacker' marker is reset when a member is elected.

If any meeting has less than 50% attendance by council members, a new election for all places must be held within a month.

Current slacker status

none
