Please *keep chatter to a minimum* while speakers are talking. The occasional comment or emote is fine, but be respectful and let the speaker finish. (12/03 13:00:33) Korov'ev: 2. If you have a question for a speaker, please don't ask it directly: PM it to me. Be sure a "?" is somewhere in it to properly log the question in the queue. (12/03 13:00:45) Korov'ev: 3. Speakers, please indicate when you are done speaking and ready for questions, and when you're ready for the next question. (12/03 13:01:01) Korov'ev: 4. If a question requires a long explanation, we may have to skip it to keep things moving. In that case, you can always PM any speaker once they've left the stage. (12/03 13:01:15) Korov'ev: 5. A summary and a chatlog of the Meeting will be published in the next days on the Guild of Messengers website (http://www.guildofmessengers.com), so don't worry if you missed something.
