[WEG] changed subject line to reflect actual topic


If a meeting has good structure, management and content, the presence or
absence of slides doesn't matter.


[WEG] Perhaps it would be helpful to make an informal recommendation to WG 
chairs (via the wiki, for example) that generally they should carve each 
request for agenda time roughly in half, with a hard limit of $speaker_time/2 
devoted to "presenting" or otherwise framing the discussion and the remaining 
time devoted to open mic discussion. Likely this will result in presenters 
asking for 2x their previous time, but at least it will be a more realistic 
method to plan out time during a meeting and reduce the instances where the WG 
will be running short of time for meaningful discussion if the presenter (or WG 
chair) isn't good at managing the available time and spends the whole 
allocation reading slides to the people in attendance.
