[ALT-Plus] [ALAC-Members] IMPORTANT REMINDER / At-Large Leadership Team Development Session

Fri Nov 26 09:54:51 UTC 2021

I hope everyone realised that this is a *90 minute meeting*, although the
doodle poll only asks for 60 minutes.
Its a little bit misleading because the real meeting time may extend across
other meetings on your calendar.
