- Please check the program and addendum for any changes or updates to your session.
- You may use any reasonable means
to stop a speaker who has exceeded the assigned time allotment.
*** The
session must stay on schedule so that individuals who are presenting a paper or
individuals who wish to hear a specific talk may do so without concerns of
time.
- If a paper has been withdrawn or
the speaker does not appear, you may either call for discussion of previous
papers in that session or call a recess. Please record any no-show authors on
the Chairperson's Evaluation Form.
- Familiarize yourself in advance
with the pronunciation of the speakers' names and state the author's
affiliation when introducing speakers. This information is published in the
Eos abstract volume and the at-meeting program.
- You may need to interrupt speakers
in order to ask them to speak more audibly, slowly, or clearly; face the
audience; or briefly explain the message of an illegible slide or transparency.
- The chairperson, not the speakers,
conducts the discussion by recognizing participants on the floor. Make sure
that during discussions, participants identify themselves and speak audibly so
the audience can hear the questions as well as the replies.
- If a paper draws no questions from
the floor, you are encouraged to ask questions in an attempt to stimulate
discussion, if time allows. On the other hand, some papers elicit more than the
usual number of comments, so judge accordingly.
- To maintain the schedule it may be
necessary to defer lengthy discussions to the end of the session or to suggest
that the discussion be continued in private, once the session has ended.
- No new presentations may be added
to the session.
