Frequently asked questions
What is a board meeting timer?
A board meeting timer divides a formal agenda into timed blocks such as approvals, reports, discussion, votes, public comment, and action review.
Can this be used for public comment?
Yes. The public comment preset gives each speaker an equal visible time slot and leaves room for a response or transition.
Who should control the timer?
A chair, clerk, moderator, or meeting host can control the timer. Use an XTimer room when the controller and room display should be separate.
