[xri] Proposed Standing Rules

[bill washburn <bill.washburn@xns.org>]

Here is the revised list of proposed standing rules:

 1. Please identify yourself when you make your first comment on a call,
when you make or second a motion, or when significant time has elapsed
since your last comment

    2. Please keep comments succinct and on topic

    3. Try not to reiterate previous comments, but add new information /
perspective

    4. Please don't interrupt or talk over the person already speaking

    5. Allow for many people to comment rather than have a few people
dominate the dialogue

    6. Allow for tangent issues to be identified and moved off call
quickly

    7. Please observe good conference all etiquette:
            - Listen actively to keep track of the conversation,
            - Speak strongly, clearly, and respectfully,
            - Always use the MUTE capability on your phone except for
when speaking to the group

8.  Voting by email is permitted

9.  Guests are welcome on conference calls with the proviso that they
identify themselves as present on the call

Are there any other rules not included here?

Thanks very much,

Bill W.
