About the terminology of 'requirement, 'rules,' and the like.  It is my
impression that there is a fundamental spirit of both seriousness and
simultaneously non-formal or non-legalistic in the comments everyone
tends to make.  Therefore I would suggest that the notion of a seriou
and yet not legally rigid way of thinking about the concept of a
requirement would be something like this:  



A requirement that we place upon ourselves is something we agree as a
council (and individually as council members) is important and that we
take on as a group obligation.  In that case of a "requirement" that we
meet once every three months, at a minimum, I think that it could take the form of an agreement that remember and keep track of through your keeping track of the date of the most recent meeting.  The idea could be as simple as we project a date 90 days out as the default date for the next meeting, unless there is a call for a meeting at an earlier date.  Does that make sense?

Best regards,
