ISSUES BIN or PARKING LOT<br />
Very often at meetings, people get side-tracked. When people either talk about or have questions about something that<br />
is not on the agenda, you can write them down on a big piece of paper marked “Issues Bin” or “Parking Lot”. Later, when you<br />
have time, you may talk about what issues got parked in the lot.<br />
It can be difficult to decide when issues belong in the Parking Lot or need to be discussed immediately. The<br />
chairperson needs to exercise judgment with respect to potential Parking Lot Issues, but she/he can also ask the group their<br />
opinion on whether to park the issue or not.<br />
