Business Meeting Script
Group voted to adopt the business meeting script which has been posted. Will review to amend.
Vote: 6 Yes, 1 No, 1 Abstain
Discussion:
Ruth icw Lew suggested for business meeting motions, we follow the outline in the RCA blue book instead of Roberts Rules of order.
David icw Kapiko stated he has seen both methods in meetings. Roberts rules of order may be faster for larger business meetings.
Quin icw Lance stated indifference to either method, and offered having timed discussions of 1 min per member to keep discussions short in honor of time.
Group voted to table this discussion till next meeting.
