Ben does acknowledge one hole in the proposal (that I don’t think I’ve seen covered). Do we have a rule in place about grandfathering? It will be a limited case, but I suspect there will be some who are in
process of gaining voting rights. That means that this Plenary (or the Jan Interim) was their first meeting that counts toward voting rights. They need another Plenary to gain voting rights. Would this second one be required to be in person? I would advocate
that we grant voting rights based on the CURRENT rules while also starting the clock on required in person attendance to maintain these rights. This would mean that if they attend the July Plenary virtually, they will gain voting rights. But if they do not
attend at least two in person by July ’25, they would lose those rights.

Ben - I believe your understanding is the same as mine regarding the in-person part, and I believe the May meeting counts to substitute for the July plenary– so even in the worst-case, assuming we apply the
new rule after this meeting, the individual would have credit for this meeting (virtual), which would be treated as credited, under the ‘grandfathering’ and would have an in-person credited attendance for May. So virtual attendance in July would allow claiming
the voting rights.

Subject: [802SEC] Proposed rule change for in person attendance requirement.
A question arose this morning regarding the proposed change. I think I know the answer but would appreciate verification/denial.
Someone attends this week virtually. Still counts because the current rules say it's credited attendance.
They attend the May wireless interim (or any other credited interim) in person. Thus they are eligible to become a WG voter at the start of the July plenary. Do they need to attend
July in person?
From my reading we have not added "in person" requirement for July in this scenario.
Additional comment: in the summary slides someone put something suggesting attending 1.5 meetings per year in person was what is required. While I thought that was clear Sunday,
quite a few people became confused, thinking this was saying attending 50% of a meeting had value. We should take that off the slide. THe part that says 2 one year and 1 the next is sufficient and not wrong.
FWIW
