I move that we table the actual discussion for the actual meeting. I think |
| 57 |
at this point we're just gathering topics FOR discussion? |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Should mailing list moderation be added to the agenda or not? |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I may be out of place here but it seems an involved discussion about it |
| 62 |
would defeat the purpose of having a meeting. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
At the least, wouldn't a change of subject line or list might help keep |
| 65 |
*this* topic about the meeting itself less cluttered? |
