<DIV></DIV>Bill's summary is spot on as far as I can remember. In Nairobi,
Adrian had pointed out the need to ensure Councillors get priority at our
weekend sessions. As acting Chair at that meeting, I tried to do just that. My
impression was that by allowing Councillors to speak first and then opening it
to other members of the community, we were able to ensure that these sessions
were productive for Councillors while still remaining open and useful for the
larger community as well.

<DIV>When we last had this conversation didn't we decide against <SPAN

measures that would preclude community participation (and were hence poorly
received by some) and for some intermediate steps like only Councilors at
the table, chair gives preference to Councilor comments and right sizes the
time for others, etc? If people think this has not worked sufficiently,
wouldn't it be possible to simply have an offline conversation with the most
relevant parties saying please respect the following ground rules, and to
reiterate these at the outset of meetings?</SPAN></DIV>
