Agenda item deadline: Dave (NEW)
- We have grown to the point that our big-picture topics are too much for a once-a-month, casual meeting to cover. Last-minute proposals come in without sufficient background information, and even the most present and aware staff members still feel the need to research a topic before they get discussed.
- PROPOSAL: Council will enforce a strict deadline for additions to the agenda of both discussion items and proposals.
- Discussions could still birth new proposals; this is intended to encourage knowledgeable discussion and the positive effects thereof.
- Poorly-researched items can still slip past the facilitator - they are not omniscient - but this is still a positive change.
- This stands to improve our documentation archival, somewhat. If we need to, we could start giving proposals IDs.
General Priorities: Martin (OLD)
