[board] Meeting Format and Proposed Board Meeting Schedule

[Dana Pepp]

Hi board,


I don’t think we heard from everyone about scheduling board meetings.
What works for folks?
A zoom?
Every month or every other month?
We definitely should talk/meet soon, so that we can talk about the next meeting and beyond.

Thanks,
Dana
