Eligibility for Council

Any community member is eligable to participate in discussion at the Community Council.

These criteria are used to determine who, having demonstrated commitment over time and remained informed on current issues, is eligible to block consensus (a privilege rarely used).

• Members who attended the first council meeting were automatically qualified to participate in decisions.
• When an unqualified member attends at least three meetings in a row, he or she becomes qualified at the third meeting.
• Once a member becomes qualified, he or she becomes unqualified if he or she misses three meetings in a row.
