For my part I apologise for the meetings I have missed - I do try to make every one, but sometimes life gets in the way. Alternatively we could introduce a censure clause, obligating PSC members to attend at minimum e.g. 10/12 meetings per year in order to maintain their status as PSC member. That is a  'more stick, less carrot' approach, I know, but the utility of a person being on the PSC diminishes a lot if they are not attending meetings. In the old days, when we had a larger PSC, my soft old brain remembers things being worse, with a lot of juggling around trying to find meeting times, and long, circular discussions due to many different points of view. Anyway I voted -0 because I am not firmly against it, just adding a note of caution that it may not have the desired outcome.

Regards

Tim
