Meeting ground-rules

1. Start on time, end on time
2. Limit side conversations
3. Different opinions are welcome
4. Disagree here and now, not afterwards
5. Challenge ideas or relevance, not people
6. Silence = agreement
7. Follow through on action plans

When a decision is necessary and reasonable effort does not yield a consensus, majority decisions are acceptable as long as the minority opinion(s) can “live with” the majority position.
