To achieve this I recommend that: 1. Substantive issues that require discussion and procedural matters that require decision are handled first; 2. Items for reporting are last and should, whenever possible be summarized in writing in advance of the call so people can digest them and offer input/ask questions; and 3. Time limits should be set for each item to ensure that we get through the agenda within the allotted time. Our goal is to make the calls an efficient, effective and substantive forum for discussions. I would welcome thoughts from other members.
