Revisiting meeting structure and frequency

[minrk]

Reflecting on our meetings, I think it's worth opening for ideas on if/how we should update our meeting format every once in a while. The last reflection on this was in #684.

• Our meetings are infrequent - monthly if both timezones work for you, Bi-monthly for those who can only fit one timezone
• meetings are typically small - a small number of mostly core folks with occasional community participation (not a criticism, same as Reflections on 6 months of Collab Cafe #684, only meant as an input for deciding how meetings should be structured)
• 2 hours is a lot, we rarely use more than one hour (Reflections on 6 months of Collab Cafe #684 proposed reducing to one hour, but we have not done so)

Ideas that have been mentioned:

• more frequent, shorter "maintenance sessions" or "office hours" that are low/zero prep
• separate "governance" meeting (Split and refactor the team meeting format (2/2): Steering Council Meeting #618)
• "asynchronous" meetings (something involving periodic, time-bounded agendas to try to balance inherent scheduling/exclusion problems of synchronous meetings with the fizzles-out-and-nothing-happens problems of deadline-free async communications)
