Warning.

This format was experimented during EuroDIG in Strasbourg. I carried 
a analysis in French of the way the format works (speakers stay at 
their place and are given the floor by the Chair. They can be from 
the list or reacting from the audience).

The experience shown that more than two minutes speach sounds long 
(the TV camera tries to spot you in the audience, but you do not 
really control the room, your time, and people do not hesitate to 
talk together while you speak). If there are two many people listed 
their management takes a very long time, so do interuptors. So, you 
are better to agree with your moderator to speak among the first 
ones. This is possible because the best way to organise the "show" is 
to gather the speakers by thematic groups prepared in advance.

Also, Strasbourg seems to have shown that once people have understood 
they are to be short, they really become short and the meeting turns 
like being a class room. With the moderator trying to find people 
interested in speaking up. Then anyone can rise an hand and be long 
as no one has prepared anything else.

This is certainly a very interesting format. But I think people 
should be prepared to it. Other Strasbourg attendants could may be 
comment this?
