Rules of Engagement

Here are a few things to note, please help us all by honoring the following meeting guidelines:

• We will meet promptly each week for 45 minutes.
• Participants will NOT be formally announced.
• At the beginning of the meeting we'll have normal "hello and welcoming" announcement.
• Participants can come and go as your schedule permits (joining late is ok).
• If you join and the meeting is in progress please don't announce yourself since it may interrupt or distract the reader (we have disabled the chiming settings which annonces entry and exiting of the call).
• At the beginning of each session our Mazzi moderator will welcome everyone and ask for a volunteer of someone who would like to read their life plan to the assembled group.
• After each Life Plan is read we will all pause for a few seconds to honor its reading and then the moderator will conclude by saying "thank you." 
• Please do not provide any additional commentary other than the moderator's "thank you" since we want to create the most space possible for the Life Plan readings.
• At the end of each Life Plan reading and "thank you," the moderator will openly request "who would like to go next" and will then choose based on a "first / next volunteer" basis.
• A reader of their Life Plan should begin by saying "hi my name is _____" [first name only is fine] and then read their life plan without providing any elaboration.
• We will stop promptly at the top of the hour and, if a life plan reading is "in progress," we will stay on the conference line until the reading of the current life plan is concluded.​
