<div dir="ltr"><div>4-6 hours is a LOT for an online meeting, especially for the first time a group uses a new technology. Online meetings are adequate for one or two narrow subjects at a time.<br><br></div><div>It is NOT the same as an in-person meeting. Some are dealing with other distractions like pets, other people, and televisions. There will be barking dogs, interrupting kids/grandkids, neighbors mowing the yard, ringing phones, etc. There's usually at least one person who will not follow the
instructions about how to avoid creating an echo for everyone else.
It's really hard to pay attention in those circumstances. Some are not tech savvy and struggle to participate.<br><br></div><div>The last time we had one, it was like a game of whack-a-mole for me to keep background noise out from the microphones of people not speaking who forgot to self-mute.<br><br></div><div>Let's not schedule an all-day ordeal. If there are a couple of subjects we need to take up, fine. But we really should try a 1-2 hour meeting first before we shoot for the moon.<br><br></div><div>-Alicia<br><br></div><br><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 3:44 PM, Caryn Ann Harlos <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:carynannharlos@gmail.com" target="_blank">carynannharlos@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thank you Joshua.
