TSC seat abandonment on Jul 20, 2021 
@Ahmed El Sawaf (STC) has only attended 2 TSC meetings since his election (on Feb 23 and April 20, 2021), and has not participated in any off-line vote. Attempts to contact him have failed.

The new charter text, 3.3.2.1. TSC Member Elections, says:

What we have here is more a case of abandonment than resignation. The charter does not cover this case exactly.
Do one or more TSC members believe that this is a Major TSC Issue?
"Major TSC issues may only be resolved at a TSC meeting except that the voting shall be electronically."
Does the TSC agree that the criteria for "Replacement of a TSC member" has been satisfied, and "an election for the position is held within 30 days of notification to resign. The conditions of the election are the same as for any TSC election." ? 

@Al Morton

Discussion:

Have we attempted contact through STC participating members in LFN?

Attempts to contact last may not get response due Islamic holidays

Attempt to reach him are being directed via LinkedIn.

Decision: Will allow additional time to try to reach @Ahmed El Sawaf

Future decision: if no response, will discuss on next TSC meeting

Additional discussion:

contacted Saad Sheikh (who left STC)

Is this a Major TSC issue? No. Should action be required it can be done via a simple # agree.
