I believe, if memory serves, that Kathleen Auerbach did just this, and got
into a meeting of this nature. I believe that she received a lot of flack
during the meeting, ..one person verbally abused her, and another shoved
her.

I am not saying it couldn't work, but that is my recall of her experience.
