What we unfortunately commonly find is presentations *instead*of*
discussion. That's what people are being concerned about and saying is wrong.
right. and as tools for facilitating discussion, both brief
presentations and PowerPoint can be quite useful.
simple-sounding rules like "no presentations" or "no powerpoint"
won't solve the problem. we actually need to consider whether our
presentations are facilitating discussion. and this requires additional
effort on the part of (already overworked) speakers and WG chairs.
