But\, we will get throug h it!\n\nA virtual executive meeting is scheduled for for Thursday\, Augus t 20th\, from 5:30 to 6:30. At Phil Ferguson's suggestion\, we will meet o n Zoom. Zoom has better performance for rural bandwidth constrained users like him\, so we'll give it a try.\n\nThe Zoom meeting link & credentials are not posted publicly on this calendar notice (hoping to avoid "ZoomBomb ing"). Contact Chair Dean Weiten or Secretary Trevor Brown to get meeting credentials. Executive members can also provide the meeting details if you request them.\n\nAs I think I've said in the past\, please be patient dur ing virtual meetings. We have all used this technology for years to commun icate in small groups\, but for many of us\, we haven't used it as much fo r formal and business meetings.\n1. You do not need to show your camera/vi deo/picture\, this is entirely optional.\n2. Mute your microphone as much as possible when you aren't actually speaking.\n3. If the meeting has tech nical difficulties\, we will try to reconnect. If after 10 minutes\, we ha ve not re-established the meeting\, please consider the meeting adjourned. \n4. If the meeting does not start on time\, please be patient - but if it has not started within 15 minutes of the planned time\, please consider t he meeting cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.\n\nIf the meeting is cancelled or adjourned\, then either the Chair or the Secretary will be i n touch with the executive and other attendees\, as to the disposition of the meeting and the items on its agenda.\n\nAgenda: \nVirtual Meeting – Zoom (details by E-mail or by request)\nThursday August 20th\, 2020\, 5:30 -6:30 PM CDT\nAGENDA\n1.
