I like the concept of "vamping until ready."   It puts a name to a phenomenon
that I have experienced.   Seems that it takes a little time at the start of
the meeting to let everyone arrive in the room, bring back the attention that
is scattered to events at home or office, traffic on the freeway, glitches in
finding the meeting site, etc.   And a bit of taking charge of the space
before you release it to the participants.
