Explain the procedure to the entire group why it is being used, the mechanics involved, the time to be allowed, and the expectations from the method. Make the diversion into the huddle groups. Often this can be done by prior seating arrangements, but at ties a counting off or other method may be necessary. This is an efficient way to break up cliques. Give such general instructions as: get acquainted with each other. Select a chairman to encourage interaction within the huddle. Select a recorder spokes man to keep a record and to report back to the general meeting. Allow about two minutes for carrying out these procedures. Ask the chairman and the spokesman to identify themselves to make sure this instruction has been carried out. Preferably hand out written copies of the questions to be discussed. Repeat the time allowance and suggest that some comment be obtained from each member. Ask for and answer any questions which have arisen. Move among the groups as to be available for clarification and to determine progress being made. If it seems desirable the time may be extended, but a one minute warning should be given before calling time. It the number of huddle, or lack of time, precludes a complete report back, ask the groups to take two minutes to rank their ideas in order of importance and pertinence. Collect the reports from each group (written or verbal) classify them and prepare a summary. The procedure at this point develops infinite variety as a result of size of meeting, types of questions discussed, use to be made of them, etc.,make an attempt to see that all significant points of view are brought before the general body in one form or another.
