    • Point 1 (20s): Reason for change:
      • The general meetings have begun to suck - too long, too much yammering, etc
      • Meetings should focus on friends, committee, and interest group meetings, not the main meeting
      • Main meeting should be only announcements and voting - no discussions.
    • Point 2 (20s): Proposed rules:
      • General meeting starts at 8pm sharp, ends 9pm latest.
      • each speaker requests time from Secretary via the agenda on the wiki - 20seconds per main point, plus 30 seconds of Q&A
      • agenda is accessible via wiki to all members
      • members encouraged to throw (soft) objects at speakers who take too long
      • members encouraged to throw (soft) objects at president if meeting takes too long
      • all speakers are strongly encouraged to end their announcements with the phrase "come see me after the meeting." or "contact me" or "see the wiki"
      • two weeks after enactment, these rules will expire, allowing us to modify, abandon, or keep these rules as the membership decides.
