C. Have a purpose for the meeting, with the right people in attendance.

george (2¾years ago):
I think it's D.
A: Even if you control who is allowed to speak you still won't be able to change the order of "random" topics
B: There is nothing said here that the meeting wasn't scheduled in advance.
C: Again, there is a purpose and the people are right. They are just talking without an order.
The order is missed, which could be established with Agenda and Rules.
