There have been suggestions that the journalists
might work with an issue expert -- that expert
might be MAG member (or whoever seemed best.)
I think the journalists can perform a good role
in drawing out the audience questions and keeping
things flowing, but advice on who to call on for
comment, when to move to a new topic or what
topic would be a logical next step, might come
from the expert.
Deciding on who the expert might be for each
session wouldn't be easy. And this is just and
idea at the moment, no one has mentioned on the
advisory group list yet.
Better briefings will be a great help.
