Harry, I'm not sure where the convention came from... it pre-dates Zakim and "q+"... but when Murray said his name in today's telcon, he was asking for the floor to speak. It's like a token ring protocol or something. It goes... ... discussion... starts to die down.... Murray: Murray [i.e. "this is Murray, requesting the floor"] Chair: Murray [i.e. "yes, Murray, you have the floor"] Murray: [... goes on to make his point ...] or sometimes: ... discussion... starts to die down.... Murray: Murray Dan: Dan Chair: go ahead, Murray Murray: [... goes on to make his point ...] Chair: Dan, you wanted the floor? Dan: [...] It's a mild improvement over the ethernet protocol, i.e. everybody speak at once, and if you can hear yourself, there was no collision. ;-) -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
