[RSP] It is the chair's responsibility to enforce this.  The reminder at
the start of the meeting is a good one, IMO (especially during these
early days).  And as was mentioned separately on this thread, it helps
if everyone identifies themselves on the call before speaking (a chair
reminder to this effect would also help :-)).

If there is any question as to whether a speaker is a member or voting
member, then the chair should interrupt and check.

[RSP] It's probably clear to most, but the Kavi system does enforce
this; it's not an honor system.
