# Meeting Conduct **Domain:** American Comportment Domain **System:** [[wiki/American Comportment|American Comportment]] ## Definition Meeting Conduct treats preparation as courtesy and the room as a place where trust compounds or decays. Participants arrive oriented, lead with the conclusion, distinguish evidence from judgment, attach alternatives to disagreement, record decisions, own action items, and close loops. Credit travels toward the people who performed the work while responsibility remains with the person who accepted it. A competent meeting converts attention into coordinated action. ## Place in the American System Meeting Conduct is developed from [[american/American Comportment - 06 - Meetings and Rooms|American Comportment - 06 - Meetings and Rooms]] and belongs to [[collections/American|the American Collection]]. Its role is to keep one stable concept available across doctrine, character, comportment, material culture, intelligence participation, and alliance work without collapsing those levels into one another. ## Relationships [[wiki/Responsibility|Responsibility]] · [[wiki/Defense-Technology Comportment|Defense-Technology Comportment]] · [[wiki/Competence Made Visible|Competence Made Visible]] ## Sources / Provenance The governing source is [[american/American Comportment - 06 - Meetings and Rooms|American Comportment - 06 - Meetings and Rooms]]; the wider architecture is routed through [[wiki/American System|American System]].
