Thank you for your replies. I got mixed replies on the introductions.
It sounds like it is counted against time and a name tag may be sufficient.
However, it would help if it breaks the ice.

Do you count the introduction time for both Core values and Project?

I guess it matters more during Project as they have only 5 minutes to
present
as soon as they walk through the door.


Thanks,
Cedric
