Agenda for Community Meeting July 14th 8pm Eastern Community Channel
Those who wish to gather, we will still be using the Tazoon arena for this meeting. If you have difficulties there, please feel free to just log onto the channnel. Futuremeeting places and times are on the agenda.
1. An explanation again of the procedures.. Basically, the chair has the floor and the right to pass the floor. Once the floor is given to someone else, they have and are not to be interupted until they acknowledge that they are done (either by saying "I yield the floor." or "I'm done." or something like that. At which point, the floor returns to the chair. The floor will be open only during certain times of the meeting. To be able to speak, just doa "*raises hand*" or "*raises claw*" or "*wishes to speak*" something so the chair knows you want to speak. Order of speaking will be determined by the order requests are received on the chair's screen.
At any point in a discussion, a person can make a motion to "table" the topic until the next meeting. A vote is then taken to see if the discussion continues or not. This is simply to make sure that we have a chance to get to as many topics as possible and to identify topics that require more discussion than meeting time allows.
The chair reserves the right to keep the meeting on topic. In other words, if a question is asked that is part of the later agenda, it will be brought up later in the meeting.
2. General Community Announcements, such as the Bardic Gathering...
3. World Projects Team Report. This is just the report. Any questions regarding the projects team will be redirected to the WorldProjects team channel to be answered by that team while the meeting continues.
4. Greater New-Player Assistant Team report. Again, this is just the report. Questions after the report should be directed to the New Player channel to be answered by the team while the meeting continues.
5. Events Team. Official Formation. Discussion on what the team is and who leads it. Xerses was nominated for the position, I'd like to see a final vote on that. Once the team is formed, questions will again be relayed to the Events Team channel to be answered there so that the meeting can continue.
6. New Team formation. It's still too early to officially annouce what it is. I need to be in touch with all those involved in it's formation. But more information is forthcoming.
7. Meeting times and places. It's proposed that we alternate the meetings every two weeks between 9pm Eastern on Wednesday to 8pm Eastern on Thursday. This should give us better coverage on who may attend. Another possibility is 9pm Eastern every other Thursday. Proposed meeting place is the unguarded iron field near Chiconis. Very very little lag, and a nice wide open, but out of the way place. The Chiconis Zoo is also proposed.
6. Executive appointments. We will discuss how short term positions that we find are needed between meetings will be filled.
7. If all goes well, I anticipate the above to take about a half hour. If not, topic 6 will be postponed or again brought to the boards. This leaves a half hour for open discussion. I know there's plenty of that, so we might extend an extra half hour again if we need to. :)
This agenda is not set in stone, please let me know if I'm missing anything, although I hope the General Open Forum covers most things. :)
One other side note. Due to a lot of misunderstandings of what the Enforcement Team was about, I'm tabling that for awhile until the community channel can get a little more worked out... If nothing else, it needs another name that sounds, less FBIish... Because that's not what it was supposed to be about...
See you all at the meeting. :)
