	Betreff: [council] Public Meeting and the use of weekends
	
	

	All,

	 

	I am a big supporter of not repeating the sins of the past (probably because I make so many of them).

	 

	A few points around the public meeting;

	 

	-        What are we doing to ensure we are not debating wording on the fly at the meeting?
	[WUK: ] First to me it's not a difference between "public" and phone call meetings (which are public to a certain extent, too). The public meeting shouldn't be seen as a show where perfect work is presented. It's a 2 hours working session as usual

	        On the one hand I prefer having motions well prepared that we're able to achieve results by voting. On the other hand more and more it's going to happen that alternate motions are presented where positions of 2 sides are fixed and where we can't find majority in both houses either. In those cases I would encourage on the fly wording up to the last moment in order to find a potential compromise solution rather than going home with nothing.

	-        Are we going to make a rule that all motions MUST be locked down prior to the meeting?
	[WUK: ] I'm open to discuss this (s.a.) 

	-        If so, have we allowed time to dedicate towards this?

	-        How are we catering for public involvement in the meeting itself (this has always baffled me)?
	[WUK: ] We've rules which our chair is following. But we could talk about improvements. 

	 

	Thanks.
