Leave of Absense

Dear members of the TOSCA TC,

I will be on vacation for the next two weeks. For the second week of my
vacation (September 1st thru 10th) I have requested a leave of absence with
our co-chairs following the official process as outlined by Paul in the
thread below.

Talk to you all again soon.

Regards,
Thomas

Fine. If you would please just forward this email to the mailing list, me,
and Simon again, then you're official. Enjoy your vacation.

Thanks,
Paul

Yes, if I only request LOA for my second week of vacation that would help.
I am pretty sure I will attend the TC meeting right after my vacation.

So I would hereby kindly request an LOA from September 1st thru September
10th.

Thanks,
Thomas

Unfortunately, I can't make an exception, but what we could do is for you
to take a LOA for just the one week. Since you would not have missed 2
weeks in a row you would be able to maintain your voting record as long as
you show up the 1st week you're back.

Does that help?

Thanks,
Paul

So does that mean leave of absence cannot be granted this time since I did
not indicate this 7 days in advance? Or can we make an exception since the
process was unclear?

Thomas

Thomas,

Please follow the procedure below, if you wish, or wait 2 weeks after your
first to resume your voting rights. Hope the below clarifies.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi all,

Based on further research, a clarification regarding Leaves of Absence, if
I may. All The TC Voting Members are entitled to at least one Leave of
Absence within a 12 month period. This can be requested by sending an email
to the co-chairs and the TC list at least 7 days in advance of the period
requested (please specify exact dates, not to exceed 45 days). During your
leave of absence, you cannot vote.

A maximum of one additional Leave of Absence is possible, but can only be
granted upon formal Resolution of the TC, a potentially time consuming
operation, if we get too many of them. Please consult the TC process for
all the fine points, should you be interested.

Thanks,
Paul
