I'm in agreement - approving the previous meeting's minutes is
merely a step to ensure that they accurately reflect what
happened.  Its purpose is not to re-hash what went on or discuss
new information.

You're also right that we should be better prepared before the
meetings.

We can certainly set an adjournment time at the beginning of each
meeting.  We did this on the bylaws committee as I recall, and I
think having a countdown helped keep us moving.

Thanks for the good suggestions.
