Talk:Membership Rewards Points Vote

Can we add a time limit for informing the board of 'automatic' points - we've had several folks try to claim points extending way into the past. If you're not claiming your points within two or three weeks of an event, you're not doing the (incredibly minimal) due diligence required to earn them. --Dbever (talk) 22:23, 15 October 2014 (CDT)

Excellent point, Derek. How does this sound?

Members wishing to claim automatic Points must inform the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall designate the method of notification and the documentation needed to support the request. The Board of Directors may also establish a deadline for claiming automatic Points, provided that the deadline is no less than two weeks from the date the member became eligible for the automatic Point. The Board shall communicate these procedures and any deadline to the membership.

Time Credits

Can we remove the language that mentions "time credits". I wouldn't want to give the impression that this is a tangible thing that needs to be tracked. It's one of those things that will just end up being more work for the board. Just say that time spent authorizing is cumulative, and that members claiming points need to inform the board when they have gone over the limit to earn a point.

This whole section is pretty complicated. I generally prefer to implement the minimum viable language to get the job done - complicated policies mean people have to look them up frequently. --Dbever (talk) 09:33, 16 October 2014 (CDT)

Class Size

I believe I understand the motivation of issuing a point even if only a single person shows up. I am not, however, a fan of the idea. I'd rather see 3 as a minimum. It sucks when no one shows up for your event, but I also believe that member points are not the sole reason for hosting classes. --Dbever (talk) 09:33, 16 October 2014 (CDT)
