“After our recent discussion about the advantages of using Zoom for Representative Town Meeting,” said Brattleboro Selectboard Chair Tim Wessel, “I realized there are several reasons to go ahead and try Zoom now for Selectboard meetings. It’s more well-known to regular users than GoToMeeting, more user-friendly, and we will have time to ‘break-in’ the service as both a host and as users well in advance of RTM.” Wessel added that “the security concerns we had in March that swayed us toward GoToMeeting are no longer present.”
Since moving from in-person meetings to online meetings on April 2 due to the social distancing requirements of COVID-19, the Selectboard and Brattleboro’s other boards and committees have held their meetings on the GoToMeeting platform. Some of Brattleboro’s boards and committees will continue to meet on GoToMeeting, others may switch to Zoom. The platform and information about how to attend and participate in these meetings is published at the top of every meeting’s agenda. The public should look carefully at each individual meeting agenda to confirm the “location” of that specific meeting.
