Thank you to everyone who attended the AGM earlier today.

We’re an officially registered co-operative and this comes with certain processes to follow that sometimes feel a bit formal.

But what was really nice was to see everyone live, even if just on video!

More to come as we share some notes in the next few days.

@boris it was so great! But I wonder if we should switch to a more informal structure than Robert's Rules. It's always so fussy.

@tinfoiling I have a copy of Bourinot's, but I confess that I haven't read it yet. Have you used it in practice?

@evan @boris

@mpjgregoire @evan @boris Yes and it has some differences to Roberts but is easier (my opinion). Motions are crafted without any preamble. I was told by a parliamentarian we only have rules because we don’t know how to handle situations in meetings. I always found most of the problem is people not understanding the basic rules. The best practice is that a chairperson conduct the business, and be completely neutral.
