[At-Large] Constituency Interaction with the Board / At-Large Community meeting with the Board 26th June 1100 - 1200

[RJGlass | America@Large]

1.  The purpose of the interaction between the board and the
constituency?

For the constituency to serve the purpose of being a constituency.

2.  The best venue for this to occur.  Is the constituency meeting
the best venue?  Would a breakfast, lunch or dinner be better?

Either of the above

3.  How much time would be needed for the most optimal interaction?

An hour should be fine.

4.  Does the entire board need to meet with the constituency?  For
instance, could a few members of the board attend different
constituency meetings, perhaps allowing them to stay for a longer
period of time?

I think the purpose of the board is to jointly discuss things, I don't see
the reason for the entire board to meet with everyone individually, rather
they can break things up and then discuss at a later time.

5.  Could the board be provided with an agenda before the meeting,
identifying topics or concerns that the constituency would like to
discuss, allowing the board to be better prepared for the meeting?

I don't see a need for an agenda.
