I hope you are feeling better --- that sounds pretty unpleasant.  I
like your idea, though.  Certainly the whole idea behind the slacker
rules is to ensure that people who can show up do show up, and if they
know they can't, they send a proxy.  I can't see that we would have
anything to gain by penalizing someone who unavoidably and unexpectedly
can't make it.

This would mean that the default proxies would have to commit to be
available for the meetings, though.  I guess that's for each council
member and proxy to work out individually.
