Bi-monthly meetings

Hello, since we’ve decided on 2 meetings per month instead of 1, we’ll have to deal with some accompanying issues that have cropped up.

Take note that since we’re also doing meetings at 2 different timezones, we end up having 4 meetings in total. This should be ample for anyone to get involved, or get caught up with regarding the Community.

Meeting Agendas

  1. It has been suggested that the meeting agenda being set 1 week (at least) before the meeting might be too early. I gravitate towards this sentiment. Most teams put up an agenda 2-3 days before the meeting. Should we put meeting agendas up slightly closer to the meetings?
  2. Should meeting agendas between the 2 different timezones be synchronised? For what it’s worth, the Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. does that and uses the Asia Pacific Team meeting results to complement discussions for the meeting that happens in the later timezone.
  3. How do we discuss and create an agenda before each meeting in a collaborative and open manner?

Running the Meetings

We agreed on running meetings every 2 weeks, however we missed the one last Friday. The meetings should be consistent.

  1. Should meetings be ran every 2 weeks? Or every specific 2 days in a month spread across? Take note that some months have 5 weeks (well 4.5). Or should we be running it on specific intervals such as every first and third Thursdays?
  2. Who should take the lead on the meetings? Should this be someone specific that does it all the time (this is the case with most teams in Make / WordPress), or can this role be rotated?

By the way, do take note that our next 2 meetings are scheduled for
