A meeting was called by The Commonwealth. It is to be held at a time to be set by the delegates.

Charter

Article 9 of the Charter states that:

1. Once a meeting has been called, the Moderation must post a thread on the subreddit seeking agenda items (the agenda thread).
2. Any member’s delegate may propose a business item in the agenda thread.
3. Business items must be seconded by another member’s delegate.
4. Members may indicate a desire to discuss a seconded business item by replying favourably to the comment proposing the business item.

5. Prior to the commencement of the meeting, the Moderation must—

   a. compile an agenda, listing all seconded business items in descending order of discussion desire; and b. distribute the agenda to the Forum by posting it to the subreddit.

How to list an item

The Moderation is now seeking business items to be discussed during the meeting.

To have an item listed for the meeting:

1. A delegate (the proposer) must state succinctly the topic to be discussed
2. Another delegate (who is not the delegate for the same member as the proposer) must reply “Second” on the proposition

Only one topic should be proposed per top-level comment.

Once a topic has been seconded, it will be listed. To ensure it is discussed, other members should indicate their desire to discuss the topic by replying favourably to the topic's comment.

To list an item, you must be a delegate. If you wish to change the delegates for your member, please [inform the Moderation as soon as possible]().

Things to keep in mind

Generally, only three business items will be discussed in a meeting. Under rule 9 of the current Standing Rules, if there are at least two business items on the agenda the Chair may direct conversation away from a topic to move to the next business item if necessary.

Items will be listed on the agenda in descending order of the number of indications of desire to discuss the item (with a limit of one per member). Therefore, it is important that members indicate their desire to discuss agenda items.

These summary explanations are guidelines only. They are not an official interpretation of the rules. In the case of any inconsistency between this explanation and the rules, the rules will prevail.
