Excellent Idea.  Good for tracking the "current motion" :-)

Note that this may also easily facility "raising hands" for specific 
topics.  When we have a multi-threaded discussion going on, one 
sometimes gets "called on" at the wrong time, losing one's place.  So 
"put me in the SQ for seconding Xyz" is different than "put me in SQ for 
discussions of PDQ".  Might work (might not), but worth a try...

Yes, a tricky issue.  But it happens in all F2F's anyway, indeed that's 
amongst the value thereof.  So, while a bit uncontrolled, I'm not 
convinced it's a bad idea.
