* Working groups should have feedback prepared and preferably already distributed on mailing list. Feedback should answer these questions- Do you need more members? Is anyone leaving your group? Do you have any CLEAR FULLY FORMED PROPOSALS that the sumac needs to decide upon?

* The Radical Routes agenda point will be broken into three parts- work commitments, next gathering, previous minutes/agenda for next gathering.

* We’d also like to add a ‘big-ups’ and a ‘well-being check in’ to the start of the meeting to give some space to positive feedback and say how we’re doing (if people feel comfortable to).

* All items for the agenda will need to have been emailed to the sumac admin list before the meeting, so no last minute additions to the agenda at the meeting (only if you are on the mailing list, that is!).

* Meetings should be advertised to begin at 7:30 and end at 9:30. The facilitator and meeting co-ordinator should attempt to ensure the 9:30 end is kept.

So, at the moment, these ideas are just proposals, but we’d like to try having the pre-meeting slot of 6:30-7:30 before the meeting to see how it goes.

Any feedback on the proposals would be good.
