When there is a meeting, in principle everyone should be there. Otherwise we have individuals waiting. It makes sense that the meeting be able to begin. I do not know why we would have to make this a rule at this point in time. It is the responsibility of each member to attend when a meeting is called. When witnesses are invited a meeting is held. I understand the terms but I do not understand the purpose.
