Hi,

Thanks for this Tapani. Not sure if there is enough time to get this done now, but wouldn’t it also make sense to have the attendance records for 2015 as well? After all, the Councillors seeking reelection have already been seated for two years, not one.

Thanks again.

I note in at least one candidate statement that the candidate mentioned their stellar attendance record on WG calls. It would be helpful to be able to check, at a quick glance, whether this extends to their involvement in pre-Council or NCSG policy meetings, or whether we have 'rogue agents' (for lack of a better term) heavily involved in WGs but not necessarily seeking the community's input along the way. This is not intended to diminish the dedicated participation of any candidate — I commend anyone who finds the time to actively participate in a WG's activities — but given concern of late that we don't have a coordinated front, we might want to consider who is or is not participating in NCSG calls before we go through the charade of re-electing anyone...
