Attention all EU Members,
The next time I see any meeting going against the MRP unless declared an emergency meeting, which is under the approval of a 1iC, it will be cancelled and further consequences are possible. All meetings are to be planned at the least 1 week in advance. As it says in the MRP, "Meetings should also have at least a week notice. " 

To be honest - I think this rule is the least of the rules that we should be enforcing at the SS.  It is GREAT to see that the EUs are even having meetings now - as not that many happened before.  So, I think it is safe to say - we can let them go and just issue reminders to them.  As I don't see any point in disciplining someone on posting a meeting.  Besides - most of the EUs typically comply when posting meetings.

Mhm , Says the Master Chan.

And I have issued reminders to people several times.... And it would not punish individuals, it would cancel the meeting, and if several meetings are planned for the same time, with one one day before (which I have seen twice) there is a serious problem. So far I have had to warn SET, AT, and SRC. Next time it happens the meeting will be cancelled. When it was added to the MRP it was supported by all EU members.

If a meeting has been made two days before the actual date and a lot of persons or the entire individual EU are able to attend - there is no reason to cancel the meeting.  Even when we do set meetings out in advance - only a few show up, that is how it is.  So again - we don't have anything else to do besides check dates and compare them when it's been posted? Sorry to say - but I am sure that you and myself and everyone else have a lot more to do besides worry about the dates of a meeting. 

I mean, we have so many things to work on like:
- Communication
- Rank Communication between ranks
- Entire website that needs updated/added too constantly
- Personnel Development and coaching
- and so much more.

You can enforce what you want however, I won't be enforcing this to any of my EUs because they're all getting the ball rolling - cut some slack and enforce it at a later time, now is not the time to do so.

If almost all can attend, then an exception should be made. However, If it is planned 1 day in advance, as the same exact time as a different EU, and most cannot attend, there is no excuse. The rule was put in place to improve communication between EU members, because most people will not see there is a meeting in 1 day. Not to mention, if EUs have back-to-back meeting times, some members of both EUs would have to choose which to attend, or to leave the first one early (if the meeting goes over). If a meeting is planned 1 week in advance, It allows other EUs to plan their meetings accordingly, It allows the EU members to clear their schedules and also for them to plan for the meeting (i.e. when to wake up, what materiels/information will they need (and collect them). The website is run by admins, of which even right now I do not possess (I am waiting for Rick to give), which do not concern any certain EU. Also, Forums are run my Managers, Moderators, and Admins, of which work real hard already, and are not part of a certain EU. We can reduce it to like 5 days, but there needs to be sufficient planning on the part of Overseers. This rule also applies to HR+ and Senior Staff Meetings, which of course, can be overridden by a 1iC. Planning, Planning, Planning.

I personally right at the current stages of these units.
Meetings are important - I personally don't care if it's like a three day warning, all do check forums daily.

Meetings are important, there is no argument about that. If you want to change the rule, fine, but if there are issues with meetings conflicting and miscommunication, dont blame it on me.

Oh Wow?

Guys I'm going to have to ask you to calm down.  I simply say that we change the MRP If this is not working. Maby to 2-3 days? I agree with the MRP atm and have no issues with it. However I do see problems with timings and the fact it has to be a whole 7 days before we can do this meeting. I am not siding with anyone here but I'd say that adam is mostly right, but we can simply change the MRP.
