eric,
There are different types of meetings. They are: information, direction,brainstorming and strategy meetings. Each meeting has its own character. If your meeting is strictly information and direction very little discussion is necessary. If anything comes up of interest or glitches you can form a sub-committee to research the issue to report at the next meeting. The importance for the participants is good time management and to get the information communicated. There are new ways of having meetings with the technology available today.
