Can you remind us how active/inactive membership is
counted, and what the
effects on a voting plurality are depending on how many people are actually
responsive out of the total?
There are rules. I'm the ranking mathematician on the AC, which probably explains why
I can't remember them.
How bad is it for moving forwards if arbcom members
are functionally
inactive? Is it then just an issue of bandwidth, or do you have to spur
some of the inactive ones to participate to get proposed decisions voted out
and official?
There are naggers and naggees. It comes down to saying that with fewer bodies, cases are
decided more slowly, and with a smaller subset of approaches.
The preparation of cases is the worst part, undoubtedly, and requires experience (more
than I have). The list of 'principles' is ever-expanding, but we still need more,
and some cases are marathons.
