user Posted April 22, 2020 at 08:59 PM Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 at 08:59 PM If you work at a company that holds meetings, those meetings clearly don't follow parliamentary procedure. What is the formal name for that kind of meeting? And by comparison, by what name should I use to refer to meetings that follow parliamentary procedure? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Katz Posted April 22, 2020 at 09:56 PM Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 at 09:56 PM I've gotten in trouble for this a few times at work - assuming a "meeting" meant we were coming together to solve a problem, not that the plan had already been hatched in secret and the "meeting" was just a chance to unroll it. Woe unto me when I attempted to discuss at a non-deliberative meeting. In my view, if they just want to communicate information, they should just send an email, and we shouldn't need a term for meetings that don't decide anything. But that's just my idiosyncratic take.
