Meeting Feedback
The Chair Facilitation Feedback Form was reviewed. It was recommended that consideration should be given to a longer meeting to allow for more NMC discussion, less sub-teams would possibly result in more timely decisions, and a break should be planned in future meetings. It was also recommended that decisions and actions should be written down so all could see them prior to the end of the meeting. For more information see the attached presentation.
Meeting Feedback
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting. This motion was seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
