If this proposal is approved , then no one is eligible to propose something at the next week's meeting ? Because the "level" in the formula is the level of the member in the previous meeting (?) and the previous meeting was under the old method. Or can the past level be used in the calculation for the next week ?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If someone is absent for a week is their level taken as 0 ? Or is the average calculaed based only on the meeting one attended ?
My guess is that intent is to take 0 for absent weeks. We want to take into account attendance.
A 0 is averaged into your average, you don't go to 0 for one missed week.
This means that it is possible for some members of the council to not be present a given week.
I meant not to drop it all to zero , just taking the level ( or rank ) of the absent week as zero in calculation. I think you meant the same too.
I think "level" is taken from the current meeting. avgold is probably old average. So after every meeting you calculate avgnew. The next week this value becomes avgold. That's my interpretation.
What about someone who just joined recently ? How can their average be calculated ? If the avgnew of the last meeting is taken as the avgold of the next meeting would it cause imbalance because the first "avgold" has an influence in how the averages go from there on ?
I think taking avgold from a set of last meetings ( say 6 ) before a meeting and then taking 0 for absence to get avgnew. This way the average level would be reflected more accurately.
Your starting average is 0 and grows every week you attend and get a level above your current average.
