This is a call for agenda items for the upcoming General Monthly Meeting.

- To present a topic, please email me & I'll add it to the agenda.
- All workgroups that have met since the last monthly meeting should 
consider presenting a brief summary of what they're working on.
- People who made commits will be asked for updates.



*** Please volunteer for a role. If you have never done so, or if you want 
to learn more about how to it better, you are especially encouraged to give 
it a shot! You won't be left on your own; others are there to support and 
assist you. Email me if you can be one of these:

1. CONSENSUS BRIEFER: Give a brief (5 min) overview of how consensus 
decisions are made, how to get on the speakers' list, and general meeting 
protocol. More info on consensus here:

2. FACILITATOR: Keep the conversation productive, moving along, & on topic. 
Look for ways to facilitate consensus process.

3. REGULATOR: Assist the Facilitator. Keep a speakers' list of people 
waiting to talk.

4. SCRIBE: Take attendance & meeting minutes.
