Thanks, Richard. That sounds a very accurate count of how many people were in the
final open meeting room at one time and is more responsive to the question of
time constraints on speakers.
There were people constantly coming in and out of the room however; some of us
didn't waltz in until the agenda reached the topic we were interested in, so the
total attendance was a good bit higher than 150. I believe the GAC open session
was much more crowded.
The number of speakers per minute of open mike time would be a better measurement
of time constraints. Someone with lots of spare time can do that calculation!
