Along those same lines, having the meeting every week kinda undermines<br>
its significance. Attendance is random, the agenda is very sparse, and<br>
usually there's at least a few heckles of "can we just skip the meeting?"<br>
<br>
Maybe the bylaws (or whatever) could be amended to have the meeting<br>
twice a month or even just once a month?<br>
