I would also prefer an agenda that is set before the meeting and need to discuss this with those who will be contributing to the agenda. I think a day in advance might be pushing it given when I see most Mozilla meeting agendas take shape. I would be happy with a fairly solid agenda a couple of hours in advance of the meeting. Would that be enough time to let you decide if you want to attend?
