[ALAC] Feedback on the new ALAC-Board meeting format

[Maureen Hilyard]

+1 Sandra about being more inclusive of others for input if they wanted to
add anything, and a timer... but at least the Board were trying something
different.

Pity about Steve and Fadi having their backs to the audience, but they
didn't start the cameras up until half way through so that the audience
could see all the speakers. One of the disadvantages of a "round" table.

Steve did mention that they too had had lots of volunteers for their
limited places. Also I guess it depends on what the topics are and who has
something of any significance to say.
