Our BOT (board of trustees) sets the agenda for upcoming meetings.  
Committees or individuals ask for time, guestimating the time they'll need, 
the facilitator, type of discussion, goal, etc. (we have a good form for 
this) and the board sorts it out.  If we anticipate a committee asking for 
time after the board has met, we leave it up to the facilitator to put the 
timing together.  Even though we've been here about a year and are not only 
dealing with getting systems up and running but some lingering development 
issues, we still manage to get almost all requests for time honored pretty 
quickly.  So far, so good.
