See the Procedures web for information on the SBAY Networked Meeting Procedures

Welcome to the SBAY Wiki. This site is intended for publicly-visible but internally-coordinated web pages. So they're readable by the public but only participants of sbay.org can work on this site.

See UsingTheSbayWiki for more information about participating in this site.

The Procedures web space is the source of an e-book of the SBAY Networked Meeting Procedures. We developed these procedures as more modern procedures for holding a meeting, including in-person and electronically networked attendees.
