Yes - probably one of the benefits of having a two day meeting is that people had time to get their views across on various matters both at the microphone and also during the breaks. When we have one hour phone calls - it can be much harder for everyone to convey all their ideas . It is often better to combine a statement on a call with a more detailed follow up email. The meeting in Paris certainly felt very collaborative.

Hi Seun, we did not use the timer at all. Let me use the opportunity to thank the whole group (including yourself) for not having made it necessary to use it. Nobody tried to monopolize the microphone, but we had contributions by many giving a huge variety of views and that is exactly what we needed at this critical moment of our deliberations.
