From page 253...
... During each town hall, anyone who attended the main event was also allowed to attend the town halls, which often were advertised not only in the meeting's main program but also with posters, postcards, flyers, and electronic media. A virtual town hall was also held in order to include the opinions of those scientists who were not available to travel to these events; this virtual opportunity was advertised by the National Academies Web pages.
From page 254...
... After the 10-minute introduction, the town halls were dominated by the discussion among the attendees -- ranging from a handful to more than 60 people -- about key aspects that should not be forgotten as the committee considers the different facets of the statement of task. Each town hall was recorded and later transcribed, and the material was made available to the committee members who were not able to attend the specific town hall in person.
