  * Instead of reading the reports and then having a discussion, we will distribute the reports and invite a handful of members or other people to comment on the political report as a prelude to discussion. This avoids needless time reading reports, offers a more interesting draw for our members (if we can bring known people to comment), and helps frame the membership meeting around topics useful for us to be discussing.
- * Instead of using the collaborative democracy workshop to choose the 6 areas for us to focus on, solicit actual proposals from the membership and preseed the workshop with these proposals, indicating that all proposals endorsed by a certain percentage of groups will be passed (see guidelines and more info on this topic below).
+ * Instead of pre-seeding the collaborative democracy workshop with priorities written by the directors, we will design a survey to ask for feedback on a lightly revised set of priorities based on the 6 we agreed to last year, with an option to propose a new priority area. The priorities will be revised to help demonstrate the scope of a "guideline" to help generate more useful feedback. We will use the results of the survey to prepoluate the list of priorities for this year's collaborative democracy workshop., 
  * Direct video link between Mexico City and New York City, with equal presentation from both cities.
  * Instead of limiting voting to a one hour period at the meeting, allow voting to happen for a full week, online-only (any who wants to vote at the meeting in person will be provided with assistance in voting online), up to one hour prior to the end of the meeting

  * Announce request for nominations for the leadership committee. This announcement should be accompanied by a [wiki:projects/leadership-committee/job-description leadership committee job description], that describes what is expected if you are elected to the leadership committee. Leadership committee nominees will be expected to provide a statement of their goals for the organization.
- * Announce request for proposals to be discussed at the leadership committee, which should come with [wiki:projects/membership-meeting/proposal-guidelines guidelines for submitting proposals], to ensure that we are not wasting our time discussing proposals that MFPL can't implement or that are clearly out of scope for our organizations
+ * Send survey of proposed priorities to the membership, which should come with [wiki:projects/membership-meeting/priority-guidelines guidelines for priorities], to ensure that we are not wasting our time discussing priorities that MFPL can't implement or that are clearly out of scope for our organization.
