[svlug] Voting, etc., was Governance Meeting Reminder

[Paul Cubbage]

A meeting usually follow implied rules:
- Civlility
-  It's about something or other
- Somebody moderates
- Some agreement/consensus, whatever results

Robert's is just a formal way of doing that.

The more formal the organization, the more at stake, the more the need
for formality.

Given the nature of SVLUG and what's at stake:
- Check weapons at the door
- No shouting over 120db
