Yea I just got to say that I am against a time limit for proposals at a meeting. As just said, a huge issue is getting people "in turn" when instead a question should be asked and then answered. Lets not limit any discussion that could help us grow.

When rebuttals occur we need to keep the conversation on point and focused. I stand behind the idea of rebuttals occurring and a response allowed by the sponsor of the proposal. Party A proposed idea. Party B ask a questionParty A gets to respondParty C can ask a new question or ask for clarificationParty A can clarify. So often the moderator starts with who had their hands raised first. A then B then C then D then E then A then C then A then F. (see the difficulty?) We are all waiting our turn for our own point instead of handling our points in order. Presenting and idea in 10 mins is easy. Answering all questions and debates in 10 mins is very hard. Motions to <vote, table, close meeting, etc> are standard procedures that any member can initialize and 2nd. We have used them in the past. They work very well.

Either way they reason I brought this up, people dread the meetings due to the length of them. I have been to many Start Up pitches where you have only 5 mins to convey the whole concept of your company. I feel if you cannot present your topic of proposal within 10 minutes you should probably create a more clarified version of what you are trying to convey.

When someone has felt the discussion has gone long enough they can create a motion to vote or motion to table the discussion. With a 2nd person 2nd the motion a vote occurs. The moderator's job is to keep discussion on point and for those who want to speak the opportunity to speak.

Solution: Mandatorily when a proposal is brought up during the meeting it can be only discussed for 10 minutes max. The person who created the proposal will become the moderator at that time; to insure that time is justified for the discussion. Other: Current proposals rules Proposals are discussed for one meeting, and decided upon at the meeting that immediately follows. Proposals may be brought up at any time, but must be discussed for at least one week before any decision is made. During that week, discussion must happen during a regular weekly meeting. Proposals are decided upon at the first meeting that immediately follows that one week discussion period. You need to be at the deciding meeting to block consensus or otherwise contribute to the decision. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
