Nor do I.  I think that breaking into groups is a good thing.  I especially
think it's useful if the groups are tasked to discuss some overall group issue,
though I think just breaking up into completely unstructured groups is very
useful (and natural) too.  My point was that I wasn't sure if the meeting was
ever coralled back in, to recap, mention the next meeting, discuss small groups'
(for lack of a better work, 'breakout group') topics.....

I hope to be at a meeting soon too.  I do want to contribute and learn.
