Re: [802SEC] Interpretation of reciprocal credit "rule"

a)      I believe the current operation is correct (i.e., visited + 1 home)

 

I think that the tool needs to be fixed in that the prompt is less than informative, and the instructions less than clear.

I will work to get a ticket in place, to fix it up, but our input to help with the final expected operation would be helpful.

 

I think that only a "voter" can make use of the reciprocal credit option, and it cannot be used to "gain" voting rights, but only to maintain them.

When Marking Attendance, a choice of which "home" group should be selectable, and if you are attending your home group, and you only want home credit, that should be an option (currently it is not).

FWIW,

Jon

Subject: [802SEC] Interpretation of reciprocal credit "rule"

Dear 802 EC,

 

As mentioned at the EC meeting today,  there is a question of interpretation regarding reciprocal credit.

Although the answer may be buried somewhere in an EC motion or an IEEE-SA staff document before my

time,  I cannot find anything in the rules/OM relating to this.

 

Definitions:

home group ? a group in which a user has voting rights

visited group ? a group that a user attends,  which is granted reciprocal credit by the home group

 

A voter visits a group and records attendance.   The question is simple.

Should the voter get attendance at:

a)      One of the home group and the visited group

b)      Both of the home group and the visited group (current)

 

And if the voter has multiple home groups should the voter get attendance credit:

a)      One of the home group and visited groups

b)      The visited group and one of the home groups (current)

c)       The visited group and all of the home groups

 

Current behaviour (modulo a few UI infelicities) is highlighted.

I initially took this to be a bug,  because I laboured under the mistaken assumption that

attendance credit should not multiply unnecessarily.  (Stephens? razor).

 

 

I?d like to get feedback on how you think the system should behave.  Once I get this,  I?ll

document this behaviour,  and if necessary work with Jon to raise a ticket to change it.

 

 

Just to help provide rapid feedback,  I have some stock responses prepared below:

a)      I believe the current operation is correct (i.e., visited + 1 home)

b)      I believe single attendance credit is correct (i.e., visited or home)

c)       I don?t do reciprocal credit,  I have no opinion

d)      I don?t care,  I have no opinion

 

 

Best Regards,

 

Adrian P STEPHENS
