I think having videoconference “meetings” is a waste of time.

That being said, if the Board feels it needs to hold videoconference meetings, the best course of action would be to appoint a “Videoconference” Committee at the September LNC Session, and ask them to report back to us at the December LNC Session.

Robert’s Rules is very insistent on every member being able to at least hear every other member during a meeting.  I bet that will not be as easy to accomplish as it sounds for 18 or more attendees – especially given our budget.

And if every attendee has to have a working video camera – well – good luck with that.

“This is an early request for you to add an agenda item at the September LNC meeting to define procedures for teleconference and video conference meetings for the LNC and other committees, as required by the recent amendment to the LP Bylaws.

Also, people should be thinking about the optimum way to implement this, as well as what the potential problems are and how to best avoid them.  If anyone is aware of how other comparable organizations handle such meetings, it would be good to build on their experiences.
