French term or phrase: alternance dans la conduite de l'assemblée
Adopter un cadre de fonctionnement

Un réseau doit reposer sur des mécanismes de fonctionnement simples, fondamentaux et établis collectivement. Voici un aperçu d'éléments à préciser:

- la synergie envisagée du réseau commande-t-elle que les entreprises ne soient pas en compétition?

- le mécanisme très important du partage du pouvoir: présence, unanimité ou pourcentage fixe des membres pour la prise de décisions;

- modalités des contributions individuelles, de la répartition des bénéfices, de la sortie d'un partenaire;

- cadre de fonctionnement bien défini:

- règles de discipline, absences et autres;
- conciliation et résolution de différends;
- alternance dans la conduite de l'assemblée;
- règles de gestion.

rotation of meeting leaders


Explanation:
It would be called "meeting leader", tout simplement :). I think my answer is simple and concise, and it is very very commonly used.

  -> gracias, jane :)
agree  Charlie Bavington: I like rotation. But prefer chairmanship, as get impression that meetings have a formal element to them. (Can't say "rotating chair" to avoid unintentional comic effects!)

agree  Charlie Bavington: These meeting are obviously *relatively* formal judging by the rules mentioned for voting on decisions, dealing with absence, etc. So I think "chair" is appropriate. However, I prefer "rotating", so I'm just off to agree with that too !
