Structure(?)

Add your ideas of how the meetings should be structured here:

1. Meeting leader rotates every week.
2. Meeting secretary rotates every week.
3. Each meeting will get its own wiki page.
4. Before the meeting:
   • People post topics they want to be covered in the meeting
   • Once topics identified, someone (voluntarily or by appointment) is chosen to give a short presentation on topic to teach everyone
   • Presenter posts on meeting page: (1) how much time they will need to for presentation to help in meeting planning and (2) the presentation, at least a day ahead of meeting
   • Meeting leader creates an agenda for meeting and posts to meeting page
5. During the meeting
   • Leader directs meeting and keeps meeting on time
   • Secretary takes notes directly on meeting page

See 1/14/09 meeting page for an example.
