Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Individual member attendance record for meetings of one named board or committee during the reporting period, retaining meetings held, member eligibility, appointment and departure windows, recusal, leave, partial attendance and source-reported rate or notation.
Specification

- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit

- Keep board and committee rows separate; do not average attendance rates, and total counts only for disjoint meeting identities under compatible eligibility rules.
- Pillar
- Governance
- Topic
- Governance body composition and oversight
- Controlled domain
- Governance and business conduct
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
Meetings outside a member’s service window and formally recused meetings receive no assumed denominator treatment. Partial attendance, leave, virtual meetings, proxies and observers follow the declared source rule.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Record-specific limitations
- Attendance measures presence under a declared rule, not preparation, participation, contribution, challenge, decision quality or board effectiveness.
- Jurisdictional code scope and comply-or-explain status affect comparability.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
