Agendas

We've been making some attempt to keep to an agenda at these meetings without suffocating in Robert's Rules of Order. The responsibility for the agenda has fallen on the corporate secretary, Dan Drake. It would be nice to know what people now think about how the meetings should be run. Should we drop agendas entirely? Should we be more authoritarian in holding to the agenda? Should the agenda be changed in form?

In any case, if you have something that you think ought to come up at the meeting, please send a message to Dan Drake so that it can be brought up at a reasonable point on the agenda. If it seems too small a matter to put on the agenda, you can bring it up under new business.

Here is the normal skeleton agenda:

• Call to order.
• Introduction of any guests.
• Review of minutes.
• Financial report.
• Progress reports: Everyone gets 2 minutes to tell what's happening. More details will be covered in project reviews.
  • How much time are you putting in?
  • What have you been doing; what have you accomplished?
  • What will you be doing during the month?
  • What's standing in your way?
• Random new business and things that came up in reports.
• Project reviews.
  • Marketing
  • Autodesk
  • MicroCad
  • QB-86
  • Window
  • Corporate
