i have a faint memory of a lot of things. harald? :-)
Both experiments were run - at one stage, we ran a 2-minute
participation timer and a ~20-minute topic timer - this had the
additional twist that we had one mike for raising new topics and 2 mikes
for commenting on the current topic.
Quite an overengineered scenario, I think; my clearest memory of that
session was the guy who stood at the "topic" mike quietly for 20 minutes
waiting to say "thank you for all the good stuff we got done".
Reaction to the timers was quite mixed, going all the way from love to
hate; we never did a survey of the participants afterwards, I think. We
probably should have.

Didn't Harald put up a timer sometimes during open mike?

I did not take the comment as disrespectful. A timer might be a

Russ, Olaf, et al,
I was serious in my recommendation to experiment with limiting
question (comment) time at the microphone at plenaries. I believe
it'll not only help mere mortals pay more attention, but will also
encourage those folks that have questions or comments to be more
concise, thereby keeping the audience better engaged.
I honestly mean no disrespect and appreciate the wealth of
institutional knowledge that's on hand and frequently shared,
I just believe that it'd be more effective use of such precious
time (and encourage more discussions on this list :-).
