I have been to so many meetings where no one has been given (or has taken) the authority to be in charge - to cut short conversation, to redirect, to instruct on the need for separate, smaller conferences. It steams me. In the cases where I have seen a person in charge, it makes a really annoying thing (the meeting) more bearable. The meeting attendees don't always like being cut short, but oh well! People: decide who is in charge and then let them do the job. Also - I especially appreciate the 'everyone needs a copy' point. How about when they send the document out electronically ahead of time, half the people print it, and then there are enough extra printed copies at the meeting for twice as many people as are attending. A little advance clarity on this point ("please print this and bring it to the meeting; there will not be copies avaliable") would be useful.
