Participation and Voting Rights

Member participation and voting status are tracked in the table below. Group members wishing to vote should enter their Name, Affiliation, and desired Role.

New Groups: No additional actions are required for initial participation and voting setup.
Existing Groups: If the table already has meeting columns, join the next meeting, introduce yourself to the chair/vice-chair, and express your intent to vote.

For each meeting, the group will add a column to record participation, titled with the meeting date (e.g., “Meeting Feb 29, 2024”), and update Voting Status afterward. Additional field and policy details are below the table.

This table should not include email addresses as it will be publicly viewable.
