To some extent, we should educate the membership about how to cross the projector's beam while the meeting room is dark. Both to protect them and the club. This is why I chose the term protocol rather than etiquette. When the room is dark, please restrict movement to either towards the door or towards your seat. Do not rush, do not duck, when crossing the projector's beam. Move normally. This will increase your safety and minimize the distraction you cause. I think the second is the most important, especially with cables up front (it used to be the projectors controller, but now it's the notebook's video cable and maybe a power cable). -Paul
