Need for rapporteur

One of the things that has been missing in many of the lists is someone performing a 'rapporteur' function, summarizing the discussion as it moves along, sugggesting areas that require more discussion, areas that are tangential, reformulating questions as they develop, etc. That's both time-consuming and requires some degree of substantive expertise and ability -- but it would go a long way towards making the public dialogue more substantial, in my view.
