MOVED by Sandy Campbell For the purpose of making the Board more productive and of improving communication with the membership, the Board adopt the following procedures: a) Discussions on board@ncf.ca no longer be 'confidential.' but open to anyone interested and that all members be informed of this by email. b) That any item to be discussed at a Board meeting, and the supporting documentation and rationale, be on the meeting agenda at least one week before the meeting, including matters introduced at the monthly meetings, which would be tabled until the next meeting. c) That draft minutes of Board meetings be posted within one week of the meeting. d) That copies of the upcoming Board meeting agenda be finalized one week before the meeting and be emailed to all members to alert any who may be interested in attending; and that minutes of Board meetings, to be drafted within one week of the meeting, be emailed to all members. e) That a format for emailing agendas and minutes to all members be developed which would serve as an 'introduction' and a reminder that this is a report by the Board of Directors to the owners of NCF.
