the chat, which can get busy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Andrea. Thanks for sharing the availability of this new feature. Personally, I do not see how it can add anything to the EC sessions. We’re a small group and between the audio and the chat it’s difficult
enough to keep track of the discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">That said, I do not see any harm in enabling the feature. We are not obliged to use it and, well, who know? We may yet determine it has some value in the future!
