Cool! This is a once-in-a-blue moon thing for a tech writer. I'd go to the
meetings expecting to get tons 'o information for the documentation. My
assumption would be that any contributions I made towards marketing decisions
would be gravy for the team. But this is an "all for me" attitude. Maybe you
should clarify your's and the team's expectations/assumptions before you
agree to participate.
