Seven of nine members we can compare: 0.2 to 4.2 minutes a meeting (preliminary)
Preliminary: at least 71% of members’ talk time is identified, under the 80% for a full comparison. All seven members we compare could rank first; the data can’t order them. The other two speak too little in a voice we can check.
