Each line item in this registrar check list for the introductory meeting is a discussion topic. Different auditors and registrars handle this differently. I have never seen one without a check list such as this. The biggest difference is how much bull the auditor throws in. Some meetings are 20 minutes. I have seen them drag out (quite literally) into 90 minute boredom sessions.
