The 10 Commandments of Panel Sessions

See Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog for "10 Commandments of Panel Sessions". This post seemed particularly relevant for what we are about to do at our upcoming Congress in 4 weeks - that is, hear lots of panel discussions. These strike me as sensible ways to steer panels so that they do what they are meant to do (which I guess is to present a lot of information to a lot of people in a short amount of time.) Learning should also be a top goal, and I think following these "commandments" will get us a little closer to that one.

Thanks to my colleague Wiebke in our Brussels Office for sending this along (fyi she also keeps a blog, on "perpetual learning and other pathways to peace".)
