I found that the timing for the 2008 AGM was not ideal. It was a bit 
late and all the reports were rushed because everybody wanted to go have 
a beer and some food. That didn't leave much room for open discussion 
with the audience. I agree with allocating 2 hours, and would also 
suggest that 4-6pm on the last day may not be an ideal time.

I just checked and in 2007 it was at the end of the first day of 
workshops... that was a while ago, but I don't seem to remember as much 
pressure to rush things. That could be a combination of less 
reports/topics to discuss and being on the first day when people just 
arrived.
