Hybrid Meeting Etiquette

Be excellent.
Attendance and voting can be found in the #meetings slack channel.
Please show up early if you are concerned about your audio.
If there is no one waiting to speak feel free to do so at the next opportunity.
If there is someone waiting to speak, please say that you are raising your hand in the google call chat. (This will be demonstrated)
Please refrain from other side conversations, these can be distracting for the rest of the meeting and make it difficult for the chair to keep track of what's going on.
If you're in the space remember that having a single person speaking at a time is helpful for those attending online.
