I expect that the Board will figure it how to plan the next meeting's 
agenda, depending on who is the next year's president, and probably 
seeking input (informally) from the members before a final decision.

But I am hoping that the membership will, of its own volition, pose 
topics of policy discussion that might or might not lead to formal 
motions.  They can easily do so on this list, or use IRC or other fora, 
and these discussions will be by nature "freeform".  I would suspect 
that if a formal motion arises from this informal discussion, that some 
participant from such discussion will notify the Secretary (i.e. almost 
certainly mukti), who will collect such motions for the next meeting. 
If it is something that should not wait until the next meeting, then he 
can bring it to the Board.

So the only real "procedure" is that any member who desires a motion to 
be discussed at the next annual meeting should send a message to mukti. 
If the motion has been discussed on this list, mukti might find out 
simply by reading the list, but it would be best not to assume this.

I suspect that the rest is something like this:
At some point before the next annual meeting (as decided by the Board?), 
the President or Secretary will make an announcement of the start of 
meeting date, of all known agenda items, and call for any additional 
discussion or agenda items.  If the Board decides to include a formal 
meeting session using IRC, this would also be announced.  Meeting 
announcements will as appropriate go to this list and/or to all lists, 
and possibly to the lojban.org home page.

The Board will presumably decide the specific of the above as part of 
planning the meeting, and will probably try to include member input as 
part of that planning.

(Others feel free to chime in if this sounds incorrect or flawed).
