I agree. With a panel it is easy for one person to take over. Room needs to be made for folks who are less assertive. Plus, I suspect there are going to be ALOT of questions so it may be best to consider what those questions will be and weave them into the presentations proactively. Also, the panelists should know what each other are going to cover so that whoever goes first does not wipe out what the others have prepared.
