Web Conference Etiquette & Know How
How this Web Conference Works
This Zoom Web Conference is being Hosted by President Hugh of the Toronto Caribbean Club
I would like to thank Pres. Hugh and Ryerson Univ. for lending their Zoom account to this DCM meeting
We have done this in order to facilitate a more effective meeting experience for the participants.
Pres Hugh will be the Meeting Moderator
This separation of roles always the Presenters, to focus on the meeting & not to be distracted by the mechanics of running an online meeting, such as, Admitting people to the meeting
DCM Housekeeping
