True. After review and acceptance of the minutes, we have several committee reports. Old business won't take up too much time, but sometimes the committee delegates can be a little verbose. Is there a way we can limit their time? We can set a five-minute report time with a three-minute question and answer afterwards. That's not good. Q and A's always stretch out the time, because people usually get stuck on some irrelevant point. We'll lose control of the meeting if we open it up to questions too early. True. Well, imposing an eight-minute limit on the committee reports then, we'll save Q and A until right before closed session. Sounds good. Overall, we can probably keep the meeting under two hours. Let's hope.
是这样.在评议和接受会议记录后,我们还有几份委员会的报告要看.遗留问题不会占太多时间,但有时委员会代表会很啰嗦…有没有办法限制一下他们的时间? 我们可以设定报告时间为5分钟,随后是3分钟的问答时间. 这样不好.问答总会拉长时间,因为人们通常会就无关的论点说个没完.如果我们会上过早让大家提问,我们会失控的. 确实如此.那我们给委员会报告限定8分钟,这样把问答时间拖到会议结束之前. 这样还不错.总的来说,我们很可能把会议控制在两小时之内. 希望如此!
