One thread, start to finish.

Raise a topic

Anyone can table what needs deciding. The chair triages it — accepted topics get a timed slot; the rest wait or get declined, honestly.

Build the agenda

Accepted topics become a timed, ordered agenda — tagged for decision, discussion or noting, so everyone knows what's actually at stake.

Share the papers

Reading tiered by what matters most: must-read, worth reading, member-contributed, presented on the day.

Run the meeting

Agenda in hand, on time. The record of what happened starts here, not after the fact.

Record the decision

For decision, for discussion, or for noting — the distinction the whole thread has been building toward.

Assign the action

An owner and a date, not a vague promise. Every action stays visible until it’s actually done.

Keep the history

Approved minutes, never quietly edited. A correction becomes a new, clearly marked entry.
