Having suggested that we should have a notecard for the rules to save reiterating them at the start of each meeting I've drafted such a card. Anything I've missed or typos?

Thinkers rules:

1) Generally we all speak over each other, unless someone is on the soapbox.
2) If someone is on the soapbox please be quiet and listen to them, you will have a chance to respond to them later. IF they invite comment that is fine, but otherwise please be quiet.
3) If you want to use the soapbox please IM the organiser of that meeting and ask them, they will work you in and introduce you.
4) No ad hominem attacks. Feel free to tear apart ideas, but not the person sharing them. Err on the side of caution with tearing apart their ideas too, we should be able to cope, but not everyone can!
5) If you want to join please ask a prefect, there are nearly always 2 or 3, sometimes more at a meeting.
6) We have a group list on the SL forums website (/77/1.html). We use it for discussing some admin matters, like when is a good time to host etc. but it is primarily there for people to discuss topics that they want to post to the forum.
7) If you want to run a meeting of your own, please chat to a prefect. Essentially you can either replace a regular meeting with the regular hosts agreement, or find a time of your own. Sundays at 2pm is becoming a fairly regular 'drop in' session like this, although that is not obligatory. Nor is sticking to the 2pm slot, it is just convenient for the people that are currently running the sessions.

Since we're currently "rotating" the meeting place, should we mention that on the notecard as well?

BTW Eloise, you could drop it in the Soapbox with the "Give Notecard" script, it's usually the most visible object in a Thinkers' meeting anyway :)
