Hi everyone, So let's dial this back a bit.
1) I have been using Word as it is what I have on my work computer which is the the computer I have all my Skullspace stuff on. I have been making an agenda as opposed to winging the meetings. 2) Yes, the documents should be in another format. I didn't get this done as I was running behind today and had other focuses. I forwarded my documents quickly to another board member and format didnt get changed. 3) Minutes really should be approved before posting them to our archives. The quick posting through discuss is being done this way so people can review before approving at the meeting. 4) I am keeping the most recent version. That is why I am trying to add the statement to contact me to add any changes. The moat recent version really only needs to benin possession of the person chairing that week's meeting. Side note, Brian is right, copy and paste is probably best option. This will likely be our solution but it will be dicussef during thr board meeting tonight. The wiki looks terrible, is outdated, and needs serious TLC. It is on the boards list of things to do, but is much less pressing than a lot of other tasks we are facing. We have very few processes in place in the organization right now. We need a bit of an overhaul and these are first steps. Yes it is rocky, and the comments are appreciated! Hopefully next week all is fixed. --BP I agree the wiki is a probably the best place for our documents. Especially if they require collaboration. However, I would like to see us going back to having the agenda and meeting minutes pasted into the body of emails.
