Forum facilitators, meeting this morning to review their experience with the Forum’s first virtual meetings, decided to reduce the time that the meeting room is open before and after the formal meeting. The room will now open 15 minutes before the 8:30 start time, and close at 9:45. The change will be effective with the next meeting on April 13.
