Actual topic is: absenteeism of board members. In short, proactive replacement of board members who become regularly absent for whatever unfortunate reason (health, death, resignation, family obligations, change of life circumstances, etc). Sometimes life gets in the way (and eventually death) of everyone's service commitments, and we should honor their past service if so, no hard feelings as life is about change! To keep us all moving firmly forward, I will suggest that Board ethics presume voting very regularly (or actively abstaining, by email if nec) or if that's not possible: for board members to kindly remove themselves from the Board if they are unfortunately unable to stay engaged, for whatever reason. Certainly we hope no board members ever die, suffer mental incapacitation, kidnapping etc. However ongoing decision-making and dynamic governance is severely disrupted by ongoing absenteeism, whatever the regrettable reason. So in keeping with the board 2010's decision on this matter from a different era, I will suggest that if a Board Member (1) fails to vote and attend pre-scheduled Board meetings for more than 12 weeks, (2) resigns or (3) dies, then the Board is empowered and encouraged to appoint a replacement for this seat. Finally, just a clarification that the Replacement Board Member would be required to defend their seat during the very next election. Of course the above is just a proposal, towards nudging forward the efficiency and effectiveness of Sugar Labs' Board: naturally this (or any such similar) will need to be voted on by the Board, before it can be enacted! > 9.
