Another thought - TC members who know that they
will be late to a meeting should notify the Chair ahead of time, and could then
be included in the attendance records. This is also a common courtesy.
This of course assumes you have a quorum without that person at the beginning of
the meeting. Otherwise, as pointed out earlier, you will not be able to
conduct business.

operation of TCs
Yes, but
expecting the business reality that people do get delayed to go away is
unrealistic. Causing two occurrences such a delay to result in a membership
warning is a bit harsh. I would support inserting the sentence allowing the
chair to extend a courtesy to members upon such a delay. This allows the chair
to manage situations such as someone always arriving late without overly
punishing people because a previous meeting ran late. Perhaps the TC minutes
should reflect such late arrivers as an additional means of encouraging
punctuality.
In addition, I
suspect many TCs will operate in such a manner anyway and it would be better
to have the rules governing TC operations explicitly provide for such
behavior.

The flip side to that (and the reason for stating it the way we
did) is
so that you don't have to keep taking roll call throughout the
meeting.
Having roll call at the beginning will let the chair determine
right
away if quorum is present and business can be
conducted.
(Plus it encourages peoiple to show up on time
:-)
