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.<br>
<br>
--Pat.<br>
<br>
<blockquote><i>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.</i><br>
