Believe me, I tried working out other ways to do it in my head, but everything else was much more complicated, and basically unworkable. I only came up with that idea as I was writing it.

Any way you look at it, this requires the MSA, or somebody to keep track of what meetings people do so it requires some sort of database, and given that, you (as in somebody, not necessarily *you*) could quite easily write a simple program to do it.

It's not perfectly simple, but it does have the virtue, I hope, of dealing fairly with selection at popular meetings, where it's prudent to limit numbers.
