Proposed by Sandra C
Issue:
I move that we return to a 60-second countdown to close the breakout rooms.
Background:
We have tried the 30-second countdown for over a month, and I find that people who have just started their share get cut off. A 60-second countdown would give more time for a less abrupt transition, and give people time to say thank you at the end.
The original proposal that change the timing stated: “We have never tried a 30-second countdown. A test for a month would be worthwhile, after which if someone makes the motion we could consider changing it back.”

Agreed to go back to 60 seconds.
60 seconds allows for a gentle close to the meeting
Agreed. 60 seconds is too short of a transition. Thank you to the group for trying it. For me, this is a safe group to try new things and see what does or does not work.
Oops – 30 seconds is too short, not 60 seconds.
I support returning to the 60 second countdown, so people don’t get cut off abruptly. It was worth trying 30 seconds, but I don’t think it’s working.
I agree with returning to 60 sec as it may give an additional fellow an opportunity to complete a share.
Yes, I agree
Agree
Yes, return to 60 seconds
I agree with the proposal to return to the room with a 60 second countdown, I have found that the person who is chairing the meeting on that particular day has to leave the breakout room even earlier to get back to the main room again to read the script for closing. It seems to be rushed for those who just begin a share and those who are in service.
yes
