Hi “Considerate” – All you can do it to abide absolutely by the Provisions of the SCMA by:
- Only giving the minimum 72 hours notice before the Meeting
- Having a very “tight” Agenda, because only those Items may be discussed at the Meeting
- Ensuring that the wording of all Items is very prescriptive, so that discussions are better focused
- Have the Chair limit the scope of any comments from the floor to align with the (prescriptive) scope of the Item/s under discussion, OR as a last resort decline to accept such comments altogether
- Omit any out-of-order discussions from the Minutes, as people such as your “trouble-makers” often derive gratification from reading their own names / comment in the Minutes; so deny them that.
As much as I personally detest the approach that I've suggested, it's likely that your trouble-makers will detest it also and abandon their coup.
