3. Instructions/Questions/Comments on the On-line Meeting Procedures

[Michael von Keitz]

Questions pertaining to procedure go here.

I just tried to post under the Transition agenda item. There was some type of box that moved too quickly for me to read, but I think it said something to the effect that the post had to be vetted or something - some delay in posting it for some reason. Can someone tell me what happened to my post ( it's not showing )??

I now understand that all posts must be approved by a moderator before seeing the light of day. Is this being done because the meeting is open?? If so, we've had open meetings before without incident, as far as I'm aware. Wouldn't it be better to assume things will go well, as they have in prior meetings, and just allow govenors to post. They know the meeting is open, and will be on best behaviour.

Also, moderating and delaying posts interrupts the dialogue and back and forth of debate. Someone posts not knowing there is already a post being vetted that says the same thing. So then the two posts finally see the light of day, and behold, their duplicative. The second does not even repsond to the first, becasue the second poster had no idea there even was a first post. I believe it will downgrade the quality of the discussion. My 2 cents worth, assuming I do understand what is happening.

What happened to the agenda item re the game viewer contract ( or whatever it is )? Should it not be on the agenda, with a note where the governors are to go to discuss it in camera?

Can someone tell me what is happening with this issue, if it is not being dealt with now in camera by the Governors??

Bob, you do realize that by going to the agenda and clicking on "in camera" it will direct you to the regular governors board, right? It wasn't obvious to me, because I had assumed a new thread inside the "special meeting" would have been created, but that is not the case. It appears we were to continue discussions on the thread already created previously.

But there has been virtually no further discussion there.

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Bob:

I neither realized that:

1. The agenda item was a link:

2. That there was no new meeting thread, and that we were just to continue the existing governors' meeting thread.

Maybe I'm not the only governor? Might explain why the Governors' Discussion Board thread is virtually being ignored at the moment.

I had not noticed that and will have to go there to check it out...

[Bob Armstrong]

I think this moderating is not working. I posted 5 or 6 posts I think, hours ago, and none are yet posted.

If the public has come to this meeting, they will be appalled to see that governors are signed in and there is not one single post by a governor yet!

I think this idea has to be junked.

Bob, I agree. I just got here, it is 10:20am, and we'll see when this post surfaces.
I see Michael has just sent an email to Lyle to fix it.

Okay, looks like it has been fixed!
