Steps for Running the Meeting

Things that come up during the course of the meeting, to keep in mind.

  • Proposals and decision process:
    • Ask: Are there any clarifying questions?
    • Ask: Do we seem to have agreement?
    • Ask: Are there any remaining concerns?
    • Ask: Anyone blocking this?
    • Are we sending this to a committee? (Or other group for further action?)
  • Future Committments: Have the scribe record:
    • Carryovers from above
    • Committments made during this meeting
  • Before moving on to the next topic:
    • It is often useful to have the scribe read back the decision or summarize the sense of the discussion so far.
    • This confirms that we all agree about what was decided or at least where the conversation is at this point, and it prevents us from needing to rehash things the next time the subject comes up.
