Agenda Updates

Quote from Bo on Saturday, September 3rd 2011 @ 12:38 PM

Another change I forgot to mention (don't worry, this will all be in the docs), I am now recognizing "Contestmaster" and any title with the word "Chair" in it as toastmaster of the meeting, so they will have TM access to the agenda.


The title with the word Chair will encompass role name like Chair, Chairman, Chairwoman, Chairperson, Contest Chair, etc.

What happens when both Chair and Toastmaster are on the Agenda, which is the case in our Club and others I know of.

Is the first one found be the Official person allowed to update the agenda. That would be the case in many Clubs, but I cannot make a blanket statement that the case is always true.

Or will the Chair just be another person in the list of those with permission to edit the agenda, and let the Club decide which role will be responsible, i.e. VPEd, Chair, Toastmaster. (I didn't include the Admin since I see the Admin as a fixer if all else fails, before calling support.) Allowing both would be the most desirous situation, I feel.

Something else to consider (if there's not enough already) is having multiple Contest Chairs and Chief Judges. We had different chairs for our last contests, which allowed 2 people to get CL credit. We had only one Chief Judge for the evening, however it's the Chief Judge who arranges for the judges, so you might want the CJ to have access as well. I'm only saying...
