It was just a mechanism that was used. It's fairly traditional. I have sat on three or four committees now, and that's typically what happens.
I do certainly like the proposal around at least a seven-minute round, because if you're talking about quality versus quantity, which is really what we're trying to get here, we want to make sure people have enough time to flesh out the idea, which would reflect the quality of it.
Most of the committees I've sat on have had two-hour meetings. Rarely did we have a panel in for one hour unless there were lots of people coming in as witnesses. Then what we often did was the chair would ask the group if we could agree on a five-minute round when we had one hour. Almost without exception we would agree to that.
