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".)
