[wplug-board] Proposed Special Rule of Order relegating to meeting by conference call

[Pat Barron]

Here's a draft of my proposal - sorry for the delay, I had forgotten 
this meeting was tonight.  This is modeled after the Special Rule of 
Order relating to meeting via IRC, I just changed it as appropriate and 
added a couple things specific to conference calls.

--Pat.

    /The Board and all committees may conduct meetings via a third-party
    audio conferencing facility accessible by telephone (and that may be
    accessible via the Internet in addition to by telephone).  The
    meeting chair shall select an audio conferencing service that is
    available without cost, and  shall be the sole conference moderator.
    The audio conferencing facility selected shall provide at least one
    of the following two features:  1)  An individual access code or web
    URL for the use of each attendee in the conference, or 2)  An audio
    tone or other signal that indicates when an attendee joins the
    conference.  At the commencement of the meeting, a roll call shall
    be held with all participants identifying themselves by full name.
    All votes shall be conducted by roll call. Participants shall seek
    recognition by the meeting chair and shall wait to be publicly
    recognized before speaking. If the conference facility in use
    permits making an audio recording of the conference, a recording may
    be made at the discretion of the meeting chair; the Commonwealth of
    Pennsylvania (and possbily other jurisdictions) requires that all
    participants in a telephone call must give consent before a
    telephonic communication can be recorded; attendance at a WPLUG
    meeting held by conference call shall constitute an individual
    attendee's consent to recording.  At the discretion of the meeting
    chair, the recording of the audio conference may be posted on the
    WPLUG wiki, or traditional text meeting minutes may be created and
    posted on the WPLUG wiki.  Any telephone toll charges, cell phone
    airtime charges, Internet service charges, or any similar charges
    related to access to the audio conference shall be the
    responsibility of each attendee and will not be reimbursed by WPLUG./
