        Discussion of the creation of a guide for Committee chairs to present motions at full Board meetings. This discussion will include advising that a summary of what is posted in full could be preferable to the reading of the full (posted) motion. This will streamline meetings and maximize participation. If a meeting runs too long, people will leave and we will not get full participation. Included in this discussion item, will also be the possible streamlining of the sharing of supporting documents.<\/p>\n

        There have been recent complaints about some Board members and Committee members not adhering to the WH-WCNC Bylaws and Standing Rules regarding the appropriate behavior at meetings. \u00a0Unnecessary and disrespectful comments distract from our mission and the progress of business for the community. Governance needs to discuss guidelines for responding to disruptions and disorderly conduct at meetings and create additional recommendations \/ rules for consequences. Additional rules can be sent to the Standing Rules Ad Hoc Committee for inclusion in the proposed amended Standing Rules. The existing Bylaws and Standing Rules can be accessed on the WH-WCNC website for review of existing consequences.<\/p>\n
