These behaviors tend to strengthen the quality of the webinar and leverage feedback for future sessions....

I would like to refer all of my clients to it---diplomatically, of course! The only tip I'd like to add: Help the meeting facilitator by stating when you feel the conversation is off-track or off-topic. Sometimes the facilitator feels awkward or unsure as to whether other people share her/his opinion that the conversation has veered, and it's often helpful to have a meeting participant surface the concern.
