The arrangements required for this meeting relates to accommodation and catering. The attendees from outside Sydney will be provided with accommodation the night before the meeting. This will enable them to prepare well for the meeting the next day. Again, we aim at providing a wheelchair in the meeting for attendees with physical disabilities such as Katherine Montego who was involved in a bicycle accident. Kosher meal will be provided for Saul Rickman. In case some members will not be able to attend the meeting, their representatives will be provided with accommodation and meals management.

The meeting is scheduled to be on 24^rd April, 2018. Therefore, the notice for the meeting must be prepared and sent to members 14 days be the meeting. Therefore, the date for sending notice for the meeting should be on 10^th April, 2018. The notice will be sent through postal address recorded for each attendee. Again, we will email the notices as per the recorded email addresses of attendees. On the same day, the agenda will be sent via similar channels.

All the documentation must be submitted before the meeting. That is, before each meeting, all regions are required to submit any items that need to be discussed in the meeting. Therefore, all documentation should be submitted not later than 23^rd April, 2018.

All tasks regarding the meeting should be completed before the meeting. All additional items should be attached together with the agenda before the meeting. This should be on 23^rd April, 2018.

All members are expected to be active throughout the meeting. However, the chairman is required to monitor and control the meeting. The secretary is required to read minutes of previous meeting to all attendees. Then, the secretary will record the minutes of the meeting as it progresses. Other attendees are expected to contribute to the agenda so as to deliberate issues the board meeting.

This will begin with meeting preparation. The chairperson will allocate duties to members. This should be done when the venue for the meeting is clear and prepared. After allocating duties to the members, the next procedure is the agenda. The agenda need to set in a logical manner so as to facilitate flow of events (Dann & Dann, 2007). Sequential numbering system should be applied in the agenda. Papers for the agenda need to be circulated so as to ensure all attendees obtain a copy of the agenda. This should include the minute of the previous meeting. Again, it is important to include forms of decisions as part of the procedure for the meeting. Lastly, prepare a document format for all meeting documentation management.

The CEO was requested by the chairperson to write to exemption office so as to enquire more information regarding the exemption laws.

There were some inconsistences between pre-meeting and the actual meeting. First, we did not expect absence of attendee in the actual meeting. Again, negotiation for phase 2 of BizOps Executive bargaining agreement was not in pre-meeting. Katherine offered her contributions by seconding the contributions of Rickman on the program. Lastly, the main purpose for the meeting did not correlate with the pre-meeting. That is, the main purpose of organizing the meeting was to discuss BizOps’s competitor Ultra Systems. The main agenda turned out to be presentation of profit and loss statements by finance manager.
