Very good proposal, David.

Documentation in advance is essential.

I'd be happy with some compromise here - a brief summary presentation would 
indeed be useful for a public meeting in many cases, and focus everyones 
attention on the most important issues with any given report.
But absolutely, please, could we have all reports accompanied by some 
written documentation, and not feel that all the details need to be in a 
verbal presentation. If such written documentation was also available for 
download by interested observers, that would be fine. I frequently feel 
after receiving a verbal report that I would be better informed if I'd been 
able to spend the equivalent time reading about the issue.
Regards

David
