Google Suite Report (Amy Wielicza)

We have a persistent room available here:
https://meet.google.com/jjr-tmdb-xhi
Dial in: (US) +1 857-323-2106 PIN: 493 898 432#
More phone numbers: https://tel.meet/jjr-tmdb-xhi?pin=6155541745415
Note: this is associated with a recurring calendar event, if the event is deleted this link will likely not work.
Migration of emails still in progress, hoping that should fix the issues with ija.board@juggle.org and ija.boardplus@juggle.org emails.
We will switch our meetings to google meet soon, once we finalize details.
Note: anyone can join – don’t need google account
Amy: someone will always have to “own the event” and it will always record one single person. We might be able to have all voting board members to own the event so anyone can start the call.
Matan: Currently only one person is able to start the call
Amy: We could create a chair@juggle.org account and share the credentials so anyone can log into it
Martin: Maybe board@juggle.org or boardmeeting@juggle.org instead?
Amy: bugs are: only one person can start the call
Martin: nice to have a zoom-like functionality with multiple co-hosts
Chris: test calling in
Amy: did test calling in
[Scott Steiskal joins the call at 8:29pm]
