continued from page 7C Not necessary to record. • Committee meetings – All participants can speak – no recording. In all the above situations, documents can be shared by the person running the meeting. The document is displayed on the screen while being discussed. There are more compli - cated uses as well, such as using fake backgrounds if a person does not want to show their location. This is simple but requires a little training. Also, since the meetings can be recorded, if someone wants to view the meeting at a later
date- such as Candidates Night that may be allowed, but other meetings (where there are standard minutes maintained) should not be recorded. Minutes should document decisions, votes, and impor - tant points; however, verba - tim discussions should not be transcribed. This new option of Zoom or Go to Meetings tends to be very popular and encourages more people to attend. Since individuals do not have to travel to and from the meet - ing, they are apt to “tune in.” Many associations have noticed that more owners attend via Zoom than in per - son. Of course, there is also the incentive that owners can elect to not be seen, even though they are present and may be counted towards a quorum. Many owners are more comfortable simply ob - serving and listening to board meetings from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, many owners who may work late would rather watch the meeting from their office or listen to the meeting in their cars on the way home. Technology presents so many more options and this is a good thing! Most likely, Zoommeetings are the way of the future, since there is a tendency to get the business taken care of and to engage in less inter personal chatter. This is a time saver. This new system of “talking heads” may be the wave of the future, since it allows a better sense of participation than simply reading minutes. An - other advantage is that own - ers feel that they “know” the Board better when they see them and hear them speak. Agendas remain important and should be emailed to all participants prior to the meeting. The person running the meeting tends to follow the agenda more carefully when in a Zoommeeting, and since observers are muted, there are fewer distractions. In summary, Zooming takes less time, allows more attendees, and should be con - tinued even after in person gatherings are allowed.
