What is an "ideal" participant?

An "ideal" participant is able:

to be sensitive to the inadequacies of his/her perspective
... and to compensate for the inadequacies of others in the meeting
to be sensitive to the levels of involvement of others in the meeting
... and to ensure that the attention is challenged so that each is effectively present there
to be vigilantly attentive to the tendency of others to take unfair advantage of situations in the meeting
... whilst at the same time recognizing that others must necessarily impose similar constraints on his/her propensities
to be sensitive to the quality and reliability of the contributions made
avoiding specious arguments, ploys and appeals
... and discouraging their production by others in the meeting
