Norms for Governance Community Meetings
As a Governance Community, we agreed that we would:
• Be considerate of other’s ideas • Stay on the topic of discussion • Focus on identifiable tasks • Have variation in the meeting format to provide for some group work •
Divide the agenda into action and information items • Prep ahead of time for the issues that will be discussed at Governance • Help establish quorum by being on time •
Maintain a sense of team by staying issue focused when we disagree • Make sure procedures are clear • Voice opinion in room • Note what the procedural process is up front • Celebrate
