Time

 

9:30am - 11:00am Eastern Standard Time (Queensland)

 

The formal phone-in meeting ends after 90 minutes.

 

The lines are kept open for an hour after that for members to informally chat.

 

 

 

Daylight savings times

 

Brisbane 9:30am

 

Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart: 10:30am

 

Adelaide, 10:00am

 

Perth 7:30am

 

 

 

Dial in

 

You must dial in - we do NOT dial you.

 

 

 

Phone numbers only in email.

 

 

Speaking time

 

We want many voices to be heard. If you are a member listed to speak below, the chair will probably expect you to take no more than about 5 minutes on presentation so there is plenty of time for others to respond.

 

Special Guest Speakers are invited to speak for 10-15 minutes, then field questions.

 

 

 

Guidelines

 

No noise

 

House - radio, TV, computer, pets, other phones, conversation

 

Yourself - mute button, or mouthpiece away from mouth

 

Phone - call waiting off (#43#), Mute button or hang up to leave the room. No mute button? ##4 to mute, ##5 to unmute. Cordless phone - don't carry, put on folded handkerchief to limit reverberation

 

Other calls - Please do NOT use call waiting or another line on the same phone to take another call - members around Australia are left listening to your 'hold' music until you return.

 

Speaking

 

Speak clearly into mouthpiece in ordinary voice.

 

Say who you are when signing in, and each time you speak.

 

Listen for the gavel. The Chair may need to interrupt.

 

Help the secretary by later emailing details for the minutes.

 

Restarting

 

You may hang up and sign in again as many times as necessary.

 

Sometimes we may have to restart the meeting - dial in again. With everyone calling at once you may need to try more than once.

 

 

 

Apologies

Late starters

 

Maybe you haven't had access to the agenda or you have late breaking news you would like to share. Tell the chairman here at the beginning of the meeting that you would like to speak, and he will fit you in probably later, perhaps right now if that suits.
