We should think before we speak, and discursive debate is our collective
thought process. Accordingly I would expect Chairs to anticipate and fa-
cilitate debates that might be necessary or useful, especially on issues
where they find giving the collective a voice may be important. It seems
implausible to me that there would be notably many such occasions. Maybe
because as German I am inclined towards disregarding phatic expressions.
