: ''Pending consensus validation by community folks.''
 
 
=== Agenda time slots ===
 
 
# uninterrupted presentations
 
# formal Q&A back and forth periods
 
# casual discussion periods
 
* establish time constraints
 
** scheduled in agenda
 
** measure time or not?
 
*** clock display, egg timer, flip book, signage, other manual time indicator, etc.
 
* develop flexibility protocols
 
** balance - over-rigidity can be as bad as no discipline
 
** how to ask for more time?
 
** how to grant more time with a silent signal?
 
 
=== Agenda usage ===
 
 
(These points may also apply to organizing rallies and other events.)
 
 
# Agendas should be compiled leading '''up to the meeting'''.
 
# Agendas should be shared with folks '''before the meeting'''. (via email, online?, etc.)
 
# Agendas should be flexible for adjustments and '''last minute''' additions.
 
# Minutes should be recorded '''during the meeting'''.
 
# Minutes should be shared with folks '''after the meeting'''. (via email, online?, etc.)
 
 
=== Agendas should feature ===
 
 
# '''Opening''' declaration.
 
# Reading of the '''agenda'''.
 
# Reading of the last meeting's '''minutes'''.
 
# Uninterrupted '''presentations'''.
 
#: Each presentation may optionally be followed by:
 
#:* Formal '''Q&A''', as necessary, up to a cutoff time.
 
#:* Casual '''discussion''', as necessary, up to a cutoff time.
 
# '''Actionable summary'''.  (Organize actions, event schedules, homework, recommended reading/viewing, research, to-do lists. )
 
# '''Announcements'''.
 
# '''Calendar'''.
 
# '''Review''' of and improvements to the minutes.
 
# '''Closing''' declaration.
 
# Casual '''discussion''' and disbursement.
 
 
=== Community members' preparation duties ===
 
 
Find out what information should be reviewed or researched, as was discussed at the previous meeting and included in the minutes.  A brief summary may be presented for absent folks to catch up, but we can't get mired down hashing over the same old material.
 
 
Feel free to come up with new presentations to add to Wednesday's agenda that we should email out Tuesday afternoon.
 
 
A new presentation may be as simple as a factoid, a plea, a question, a statement, or a topic to ponder, discuss, or research.
 
 
Keep presentations as short as possible while being as clear as necessary.
 
 
Presentations should NOT be anything that could be digested as homework (ie. articles, books, clips, documentaries, music, videos, etc.).
 
 
Rather than discussing and debating issues to death, try to answer questions by pointing to brief documentation and strong references.
