Rules of Engagement:
The time allocated for each session includes author's presentation and
discussion with participants (there will be no formal discussants) so
it is really up to the author to maximise. For guidance authors might
think in terms of taking half the time for exposition and the rest in
discussion and response. Some may prefer to leave the discussion until
they have finished presenting; others (the more normal case) may prefer
to have the discussion as they go along.
For the panel panellists should please
keep opening remarks brief, to five minutes; then use their right of
response to amplify their thoughts as needed.
