It is impossible to quantify "hallway >conversations" and such. For what is worth, I chose that description for participation as that word is already used in a BCP. I prefer not to explore hallway conversations as it would be like tackling problems which cannot be solved. >I was trying to say that showing increased participation in a region >is done by a group of committed people who try to organize the >region and that has a lot of value in and of itself.

You captured what you were trying to say in the last paragraph of Section 1.3. >I will add more on "process" activities. For example, helping with >the mentoring program making matches, helping with outreach, etc. It might make the usage of the word "participation" more difficult. >Do you mean that people will be rude if someone says something which >does not have merit? There has been a few cases previously where the receiver might be offended. I haven't been keeping up with the meeting stuff to comment about whether it would happen nowadays. > Or do you mean that if people make problematic comments then they > will be the object of social sanctions? I guess that also brings > up the point, if someone makes problematic comments, then are those > counted in a region's statistics? And, how do you tell what is problematic? There are process mechanisms to deal with problematic comments. There isn't a count of problematic comments; it may be better not to have that. The issue was about a person making comments without merit on email lists or at the microphone merely to improve the statistics. It may be problematic if, for example, a person on a mailing list is singled out. >True.

I would use the word "useful" instead of "intelligent". >I think you may be right on this. At least to start with, we >should just use what we can verify via written means (email lists, >minutes, etc.) and let it all count the same. Ok. >I guess the thing I was thinking is that then it makes being a WG >chair count the same as one comment on an email list. Is that >really fair? I don't know how to do this but I think there is >something to be thought about. I did not get into the details. For example, posting one comment or two over a year would not be regular participation. Instead of trying to equate being a WG chair with posting one comment on a mailing list my suggestion was to go with some light definition of (WGLC) participation. The suggestion requires much more discussion, in my opinion, as there are probably issues which I have not thought about. >Not following you here. A lot of comments are made before >WGLC. What do you mean? I am not understanding. There are 15 Area Directors. It should not affect the statistics if they are all from the same region if we look at participation in terms of magnitude. >Well, this is actually a big problem with the whole >scheme!

I guess each person >would say what region they are from. I don't think that is asked >today. At least, I don't remember. The only piece of information currently required for participation on a mailing list is an email address. There are different ways to implement the scheme, e.g. the person can provide the additional piece of information if he/she is interested in it being counted for determining participation by country. >I think some people have multiple "homes" but most of us are >primarily from one geographic region. Yes. Regards, S. Moonesamy
