<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is central here is to give a platform to speak to everyone waiting in the queue, and this implies that the time for each speaker should be restricted to a few minutes. The question of a time limit for each speaker is therefore important. You can perfectly
voice a well-structured, outstanding argument in a very short time. This is perfectly doable.</div>

It is really very difficult for the co-chairs to make everybody happy, time is very limited and it's a finite and scare resource. Limiting the intervention time may give chance for more people to talk, but the idea may need more time to be addressed, taking
the system and translation issue, the chairs may decided to give more time for the sake of clearly get the point, equal time is fair but not alway work.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I sugget to utilize the chat, and one of the chairs alway follow the chat and reply or cast the question to the author. In some cases this chair may deised to give the mic for more larification. </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
So my proposal is not to ask for the mic, but write your thought to the chat and let the chairs manage this. I also ask staff to copy the chat for each session and share it in the rpd, so its become one of the meeting archive.</div>

<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">While I agree that this can be much improved (yesterday before starting, I already asked if we can have an “on screen” timer and the developers confirmed that it is coming), I will suggest that we make as much as
we can, use of the chat (so chairs can try to synthetize the issues) and specially the mailing list.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">This is also good for the authors to be able to respond even if there is not time. Yesterday I tried as much as possible to keep with the chat for every question, but it is almost impossible for authors vs “many”.
That’s why I prefer the mailing list.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">This also shows how important is the “Simple PDP Update for the new “Normal”” proposal, because it gives the community 8 weeks to comment on the proposals and not just “until the presentation”, even if the meeting
has finish and the chairs 2 weeks to take a decision after that. So if somebody has an objection and he can’t raise in the meeting, he can still do it in the mailing list and the chairs have time to read all the chats and mailing list even if they need several
days (remember that this is a voluntary job, they also have their daily job).</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">And what it is even more important. In order to really take a good decision of if there is consensus or not the chairs need to write down all the for and against and decide if they have been resolved or are mere
“personal opinions”.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt">That’s also needed in case of no-consensus for the authors to understand what they missed and what they may need to change in an new version for achieving consensus, or even consider if some of the objections can’t
be accomodated.</span></p>

<p style="margin-left:35.4pt">Thank you very much for raising this contentious issue of being retrieved from the queue during yesterday's debate. I would urge the chairs to allocate a time limit for each speaker's slot who are waiting in the queue, as the first
code of conduct. The Chairs will then monitor the time during which each speaker will express his/her thoughts about the policy. The chairs could at any time send a kind warning to let the speaker know that he/she will have to wrap up. Good luck to everybody
for today's debate.</p>

I, alongside other participants were constantly removed from the microphone queue and all our efforts to rejoin ended in fiasco, perhaps due to time constraints.</p>

queue without encroaching on time allocated for other discussions or presentations.</p>
