Meeting Efficiency: Voted to agree on the following principals: All discussion for agenda items occurs on the forums in a relevant thread. Meetings are only for announcements, voting, thanks and project invitations/show and tell. All agenda items must be posted for discussion by 8PM Thursday the week before the meeting. This allows for discussion before the meeting. One person speaks at a time. No person speaks for more than one minute when others are waiting to speak. It's important to thank members who are contributing to HSBNE as we wouldn't be where we are today without it. Take the time in a meeting to thank people for excellence at HSBNE. 24 Voted in favour.
