Hi Dave,

I personally like Brian's idea, and think the all thing might work 
smoothly if you make use of a tool capable to automatically collect and 
moderate floor requests, to be put in a (virtual) single queue. What I'm 
thinking of is RFIDs triggering BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) 
requests, in much the same way as the floor requests generated by remote 
participants. The same tool should then provide session chairs with a 
chance to give potential "business class" requests (i.e., in the case of 
cut and thrust debates, or in the presence of an AD intervention) higher 
priority (which basically means putting such requests on top of the queue).
It would be nice to test such a system at an upcoming IETF.

My 2 cents,

Simon
