The meetings themselves are a mix of closed and open door sessions between the [[SG|stakeholder groups]], [[Constituency|constituencies]], and other bodies. The week always closes with an open board meeting where the week's final resolutions are discussed and voted upon, and time is made to hear from any member of the community via an open mic.
