Summary: After the business is dispatched, everyone gets a chance to speak about issues they think are important.
Completion: incomplete
Once the stated business had been seen to, the promised open discussion time was upon them.
The Convenor explained the rules as follows: "Anyone may speak. Please be orderly and queue up just over there, and we can hear you one by one. Please refrain from jostling."
"In order to get to everyone, we ask that you restrict yourself to one minute. Make your point, please, and move along. Items suggested will be added to future agendas as warranted; now is not the time for discussion, though of course any seconding of previous comments will influence how soon a given item will appear in future."
