We typically follow a simple formula:
1. pick the date
2. announce the date
3. open a thread for topic ideas
4. remind people to submit ideas
5. close thread the night before town hall
6. create spotify playlist
7. create agenda day of
8. specific admin write speeches about their ownership areas
9. remind people on fb about town hall
10. remind people on moo
11. remind people with website announcement
12. have the town hall
- speeches
- topic discussion
- open discussion (time permitting)
- rp awards (winter town hall only)
13. admin break off into different rooms based on function and continue to chat for several hours
14. compile doc of takeaways during / after town hall
15. review takeaways and action on as many as we can in the weeks following town hall
16. send out town hall feedback survey
17. post town hall log on website for all to view that missed it
In the past we've iterated on the speaking queue and sitting/standing, and restricted certain commands, added the announcement that the townhall is ongoing when you connect, and other helper/QOL changes to make it go more smoothly.
I'm interested in QOL changes, feedback on the format, pretty much anything. I'll consider it all :)
Thanks!
