We are aware that you were not present, but we're sure you're thinking about it.
As a result, we're going to have to pretend that you're here, and that your contributions are valuable, even if they're not.
Don't worry, we'll just make up some fake notes to make it look like you were actually participating.
Thanks for the "contribution" of not being there.
See you at the next meeting, where you'll probably still not be there.
