The other thing I would add is that again the chair's prerogative is that when he sees someone who just desperately wants to speak, we're not going to leave this room without that person having an opportunity to speak. If you happen not to have any friends in your own party and they won't let you speak, we'll make darn sure you get to speak.
Again, we haven't had any problems with that before. There are often times when within our ten minutes we would share five and five. That's fine. If someone goes seven minutes and there are three minutes left, someone else in your party can fill in the remaining minutes.
Can we give this a try and see how it works?
