==Amendments to the Articles of Association== Co-Facilitator: Marina

Link

Could we make this more interactive to keep people engaged? get out a big pad of paper and huddle around it, draw new elements by hand in a diagram? :) let me guess...this is romy

Table to next meeting: Amendment process to be amended - Marina

Discussion

Too much time, let people who are invested work on it

Make process clear from the beginning, would eliminate confusion and save time

Having it at the end of the meeting is a good idea

Articles should be minimal, do it first

Jordan proposes more deletions than additions as future amendments

==Conflict Resolution== Co-Facilitator: Marina

New Diagram added - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Articles_of_Association#Section_3.2_Conflict_Resolution

Suggest: could we make this more interactive? get a big pad of paper and draw out the process by hand?
