Board Thread:Admin Board Meetings/@comment-28171506-20171222165405

Hello everybody. As we prepare to start the new year, I have introduced a new way the administrators will be voting and discussing topics on the wiki. In an effort to increase transparency with you all (which is a important priority for me) we will be holding "board meetings" twice a month to discuss things happening on the wiki as well as vote on policy changes and some suggestions you send us, among other things. Votes must have at least 3 yes votes to pass, if a vote gets a no vote, we start from square one with what is being proposed or we scrap whatever policy or change that was discussed. Although these meetings are not public, our meeting agenda is public as well as our meeting minutes, which will include some of the discussion between us during the meeting, as well as what passed and what did not, or what items were moved for discussion for a future date. These meetings are held live in our discord, however the channel is not open to the public. That said, attached below is the agenda for our first ever meeting next Wednesday, December 27th. The polices and procedures for this process is still being developed. So as a result, I can't answer too many questions at the moment but you can feel free to message me if you have any concerns or questions and I will do my best to answer them.

How can I become involved?
Any feedback sent to us about the wiki or discord is brought up in the meetings. If we agree something needs to be done, we will discuss the feedback brought forward in the next meeting.

Will there be meeting minutes taken for all the meetings?
No, Sometimes in these meetings, we will discuss critical issues to the wiki and discord, including discussion on certain users and if any action must be taken against them. These are known as "Executive Sessions" and there will be no meeting minutes taken for these meetings as discussions between the admins for topics in executive session as considered confidential. We'll still provide meeting minutes for the meeting before executive session starts.

When are these meetings?
Well, you all know when this one is, but I'm working with the admins to set a date and time for these so that they are planned out in advance.

That said, here is the agenda for this upcoming meeting Thanks everybody! Keep an eye out for our 2017 Holiday Group Photo coming soon. The best to you and yours this holiday season from all of us at South Park Archives!
