Robert's Rules of Order
I am suggesting a few of these concepts extracted from Robert’s Rules to run our meetings:
Quorum is 1 more than half of membership.
We vote (majority based) to adopt agenda before each meeting.
We vote (majority based) to accept previous minutes at the beginning of each meeting.
We embrace lazy consensus, meaning if there is no debate over a 48 hour period about a decision that is being proposed via the Commons we embrace that decision.
All votes during a meeting are based upon a motion or move, then a seconding to bring a decision to a vote.

I’m OK with Stephen’s suggestions except for the quorum one. Part of the problem is that we don’t have any official “membership” in this committee. There are 47 people who are “members” of this group on the CUNY Academic Commons. If we had the quorum rule in place with half of the membership needing to be present, that would mean meetings would have to always have 24 people for decisions. Average attendance across the 7-8 meetings we’ve had is more like six people. Maybe we need to lower the threshold a bit to something more realistic?
