Article 5: Live Meetings
Section 1: Live Meeting Definitions

Live meetings may be called at any time to accelerate resolution of issues before the council. All such meetings must be scheduled outside of normal work hours in the US and Canada. By live meetings, this section includes both face to face meetings, conference calls, and online meetings using IRC, ICQ, video-conferencing, or similar technology, but specifically excludes E-mail and other delayed technology. In general, these will be conducted in some form of electronic mass communication. A motion must be passed to hold such a meeting at any time other than the Mars Society annual convention.


There will be two types of live meetings - routine and emergency. Routine meetings are called simply to accelerate the council's progress. Emergency meetings may be called whenever conditions imposed outside of the council dictate a response in less than two weeks.
