Concern was expressed regarding guests appearing at
Board meetings unannounced and taking over the meeting.
Markham suggested that at the beginning of each meeting
we allow any guest present 3 minutes, if they wish to
address the board on any item not on the agenda, and
that this take place before the Board gets into the
business at hand. It was also agreed that guests will
not sit at the Board table but at separate chairs, away
from the table, reserved for guests. It was agreed we
do not want to discourage public participation, but that
