I'm really intrigued by the "right to decline" - have not seen or used that before. Some of the teams I've worked with I'm not 100% sure it would work, people just didn't like meetings and preferred to do other things, even if the meeting was very relevant to them. As you say though, it might be like delegating, take the pain for a while and once they feel enough pain for not coming to your meeting, they'll start to turn up voluntarily. Love the idea of recording who's late on the minutes too! Name and shame! Cheers, Mining Man Great tips! I’m really intrigued by the “right to decline” – have not seen or used that before.

But you will have no part. How about then? I like the rules – have one question: Suppose you’re invited to be AT the meeting, but not IN the meeting – as in, you’re not a player (e.g., trustee), but you’re “invited” by virtue of your position to be there (i.e., your absence will be noted).
