do this before the meeting via email, others like to do it first
thing at the meeting. Either way, make sure you create
one.
Throughout the meeting make sure you
have someone chairing the meeting, someone keeping track of time,
and someone taking notes.
Review notes from the last
meeting.
At the end of the meeting make sure
you have some clear next steps. If you're working on a project or
two, people should be walking out of the meeting with some
assignments or an idea of what the next meeting will
entail.
Post notes from the meeting on your
group website and email notes to your google group.
