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

[Alan Greenberg]

Regarding the number of people in the discussion, the model we were 
testing had 6 people from At-Large and 6 from the Board. So there was 
a restriction on both sides.

The selection from the ALAC as my call.

As I said during the meeting, I felt some obligation to follow the 
prescribed plan of six At-Large members and six Board members. It was 
clearly less than optimal. And the table format was horrible, both 
from the point of view of those at the table (vast amounts of space) 
and those in the audience (looking at people's backs).

There were a number of interventions which were off-topic, but short 
of having a button to cut of someone else's microphone, I don't know 
how we can control that.

I will be putting together a candid comment and will submit it for 
ALAC discussion.
