[gentoo-project] Council discuss: meeting agenda advance notice time

[Fabian Groffen]

During last council meeting [1] announcement of meetings and agendas
with little less than 7 days was suggested.

In this thread I'd like to see the pros/cons of shortening the
announcement time raised and discussed, and if shortened, to what time.

A definite pro of 1 week is that it gives enough time for all council
members to have prepared the agenda points properly, such that meetings
can be efficient and with everybody voting.


Please discuss.  Discussion contributions by non-council members are
encouraged and welcomed very much.

As I had a few chances to express before, I'm a strong supporter of "due
notice" for council meetings. To me this means that no "regular meeting"
should be convoked with a notice of less than 1 week.

Even if this might help the work of council members, the real benefit to
me is to ensure the community has ample chance to become aware of a
meeting and to be able to attend it.
