Hello Christine
We sometimes have lap-tops or IPads in the break out sessions and have someone 
(self-selected) type in  the key points during the conversation (as I think you 
already indicate in your mail) . Sometimes we use a simple template and a drop 
box - It has worked quite well.

> Hi dear OS community

> I'll be facilitating soon a short OS event of about 3h1/2, at the end of a 2 
> days conference for women involved in politics.
> The host insists on having typed proceedings, because she expects the OS part 
> to boost empowerment in participants and encourage them to be more and more 
> professional in their involvement (and stay in politics in spite of all kind 
> of troubles women face in this kind of career.).

> In the beginning she was thinking of having staff type reports but I 
> discouraged her and she agreed to it. So we will have computers to type 
> reports . Reports will be typed by participants themselves.
> 
> However I never organized typed reports within such a short event so I would 
> appreciate your advices and experiences.
> Right now I suggested 2 rounds of one-hour-session then a break of 1/2h in 
> order to type reports then closing circle. But that makes the break quite 
> late in the afternoon and just before the closing circle: this doesn't feel 
> optimal.

> What would you suggest ?
