Community Council/Meetings/Third/Minutes Second meeting

Background
The WikiEducator Community Council conducts its meetings openly and transparently in the wiki. Therefore the wiki pages of the previous meeting constitute the minutes of the meeting, obviating the need for a separate set of minutes.

Draft concept for motion
As Chair of the meeting, in accordance with meeting procedure, I prefer not to propose motions from the chair. Therefore, I request that an attendee of the meeting to consider tabling a motion for approval of the minutes. Wayne Mackintosh 03:03, 25 April 2010 (UTC). A proposer could use the following text:


 * "I move that the meeting approve the minutes of the Second Community Council Meeting" &lt;insert signature here&gt;.

Once a motion has been formely tabled, an attendee of the meeting will need to second the motion by signature under the relevant subheading. Once a motion has been seconded, voting on the motion can commence.

Motion

Second

 * Valerie Taylor 14:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Discussion on tabled motion
Wayne, are you sure we need to actually VOTE on the motion to accept the minutes or for this particular one we just accept it as it is after it is seconded. Clarification rested. If we need to, no problem, i shall vote. --Victor P. K. Mensah 09:52, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Victor good question. Given that we conduct our meetings asynchronously and our commitment to transparent meeting process, I think for record keeping purposes it is prudent to vote on the approval of the minutes. An interesting technical point -- consulting Robert's rules of order, there is no requirement under parliamentary procedure that a Council member is required to be present at the previous meeting in order to propose, second or vote on the approval of minutes. Therefore, I think its good practice for us to vote on the approval of minutes. On a lighter vain -- voting on a procedural issue like this helps refresh our memory on the wiki process regarding how we conduct our meetings ;-) --Wayne Mackintosh 22:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Wayne. Good explanation. Its ok by me. --Victor P. K. Mensah 12:36, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
