simple rules
robert's rule of order--parliamentary
wiki in the mix!
"which could be good or not"-jz
timing
what we ask people to do before
during
like the question tool or other stuff
peter's role is helping after the sessions
"our greatest opportunity to contribute is after the fact"
but stuff could be relevant during too
Mel got a wiki page going!
woohoo!
sources about different practices (could go on the wiki?) there prob. arent readable/exciting scholarly resources. boo :(
at most 3 sessions (and maybe two) between now and dec.
how to structure those two sessions?
hmm.
ALSO substantitive reading:
?
