| Since 75% of the EC's voting members were present, the EC was quorate for this meeting. |
The EC Standing Rules state the following penalties for non-attendance at EC meetings (note that those who participate in face-to-face meetings by phone are officially counted as absent):
Missing two meetings in a row results in a loss of voting privileges until two consecutive meetings have been attended.
Missing five meetings in a row, or missing two-thirds of the meetings in any consecutive 12-month period results in loss of the EC seat.
Since Intel missed the January meeting they lost their voting privileges as a consequence of not attending that meeting. Intel did attend today and will regain their voting privileges after attending the March meeting.
Heather VanCura chaired this meeting. Patrick attended as an observer.
Heather presented the usual EC stats (see the presentation for details).
Heather presented the latest membership report, noting that there has not been a large increase in membership since January, primarily due to the fact that the PMO is processing 2016 applications and we have not started a new membership drive. We will start a new membership drive leading up to the JCP EC Special Election the first part of 2017.

Heather reminded EC members that the face-to-face meeting in Austin Texas in May would take place on Monday afternoon and Tuesday (all day) rather than the usual Tuesday and Wednesday in order to allow those who wished to attend OSCON (which will start on Wednesday of that week in the same city) to do so.
