PACK MEETING RULES

Pack Meetings - Pack meetings are howled together by the alpha(s) (by the Beta wolf if the alpha(s) are not present) to discuss happenings within the pack, to bring the pack together all at once (a very exciting event for wolves) and to perform ceremonies.

Talking and Order of Conduct - When a pack meeting is called all wolves present may join in if they wish to however priority will be giving to pack members over assessments and visitors. Throughout most of a pack meeting important pack related issues and topics are discussed first. During this time only the Alpha(s) or Beta wolf is allowed to speak freely, all other wolves must wait until called on directly by an alpha or beta or they give the floor up for a general discussion. The Alpha or Beta will keep strict control on how long and how fast you may reply or give your opinion when asked for. Very slow and/or very long replies slow meetings down and any wolf that cannot make short quick comments or opinions may be asked to stop speaking to allow more timely wolves to speak their minds first.

Addressing Problems - Any problems not related to the current pack topic should first be discussed with the Alpha or Beta wolf in PM before being addressed during the pack meeting. Any problems addressed during the pack meeting that is not pack related will be asked to be discussed in PM by an Alpha or Beta wolf. If the offending wolf or wolves do not adhere to this rule it will result in a warning which may lead to a Kick/Why.

All rules shall be followed, please keep this in mind.
