"Introduction" meeting type

I came up another meeting type that isn't listed in under Good meetings#Taxonomy. The code section below describes yet another bulletpoint that I may add above the other bulletpoints:


Introduction - This is a meeting where at least one "important attendee" doesn't know many of the other people in the room, and the most important outcome of the meeting is for everyone to know each other better.

  • Successful outcome: the meeting ends on time, with everyone having had a proper chance to introduce themselves, and the "important attendee" feels satisfied that they know how to followup with other important attendees
  • Successful outcome: no one leaves the meeting with a lower opinion of anyone else in the meeting
  • Stretch goal: getting through the agenda
  • Non-goal: the stretch goals of the meeting types listed below

Of course, all attendees of all meetings are "important", but of course, there are going to be some people at the meeting who (perhaps) are responsible for the budget that funds the meeting room that pays for the conference room that the meeting is held in (sorta ike Ronald Reagan in a hotel conference room in New Hampshire in 1980). Some people will believe they've purchased the right to speak, and if they own the real estate that the meeting is held at, they may be able to call the cops. Anyway, thoughts on "Introduction" being added as part of the taxonomy?
