The Timer

[Called upon by the General Evaluator]

As Timer, I will time the Table Topics Speakers, Formal Speeches leading to the Competent Communicator, and the Individual Evaluators. I will also alert each of them of the time they have left, using the green, yellow, and red flags, which denote specific times.

Towards the end of the meeting, I will report to the time when called upon.
