How are decisions or plans of action/next steps made in these meetings? How are <br /> different roles taken into account? <br /> - Recommendations may come out of this group, but we don't take formal action in <br /> the MMC <br /> - Timeliness is always a process <br /> - If we don't reach consensus, we can send more than one option to our respective <br /> boards <br /> - This group is an opportunity to learn about where we are and consider where to go <br /> —to see where we sit with high altitude questions <br /> - All are welcome to participate in discussions. Any recommendations will come from <br /> elected officials <br /> 2. Request for recording— how to approach this? <br /> The group decided not to have recordings for the meeting. Maggie Chotas, the <br /> facilitator, noted she will summarize notes from flipcharts and her own <br /> contemporaneous notes. As always, draft summary notes will be shared with the group <br /> for review and revision before considered final. After notes are final, they can be <br /> released to governing boards. <br />
