<div dir="ltr">I have never had the pleasure of attending a full LNC meeting, but Starchild's comments (I assume everyone was copied on them) sound reasonable to me, based on experience at other organizations. If reports are available in written form prior to the meeting, the purpose of that is usually, in my experience, precisely so that the report need not be read, but instead can be quickly summarized - allowing more time to ask questions (presumably, prepared in advance while reading the materials) and to make appropriate motions to deal with what was reported (ditto.) As I said, though, I haven't been to a full LNC meeting before.<div><br></div><div>Joshua Katz</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Joshua A.

idea for your first full LNC meeting as Chair. This is a suggestion I
provided to Geoff, which he thought was good, but did nothing with.
Basically, the suggestion addresses the problem of Reports, which usually
consume an inordinate amount of time, leaving more important stuff begging for
appropriate consideration.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
