  <div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""><p class="">Greetings All,<br class="">
      <br class="">
      Lately I am noticing that, at the end of the building of
      Marketplace, more than 1/2 or even 2/3 of the people may be
      milling around out of their seats by the Marketplace chatting
      while the last 10 or 15 sessions are getting announced and going
      to the wall. It can get loud, and sometimes the last few folks do
      not really get heard.<br class="">
      <br class="">
      So I'm thinking of telling all the folks, as we start announcing
      topics, "...After you post your session to the Marketplace, we ask
      you to please return to your seat, to experience and hear the
      announcing of the rest of the sessions. After all the
      announcements of all of the sessions slows down, we'll declare the
      Marketplace open, leave our seats, and go to work. Thanks."<br class="">
      <br class="">
      Assume there are 275-300 people in this situation. <br class="">
      <br class="">
      If you have experience, I have 2 questions for you: <br class="">
      <br class="">
      Is asking the folks to return to their seats too prescriptive in
      your view? Why or why not?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888" class=""><br class="">
