Concluding a debate

A keen sense for human nature and skilful moderation are required to conduct a general meeting: It is important to find a balance between firm leadership and an extensive exchange of opinions and views regarding the agenda items. Once the views have been shared, the end of the debate can be announced. It is helpful if the moderator summarises the different positions at the end of the debate and only allows further commentaries if these provide additional clarification. Subsequently, the corresponding vote can be carried out.
