This is basically what we already always did at the midcycles. A person 
has an agenda item with their nick. If we're going to talk about their 
thing and they aren't in the room, we ping them (or stick out head out 
in the hallway and tell them to get their arse in the room to talk). If 
they can't at that time, then we move on and come back when that person 
is available.

It's when we have people remote, or in other midcycles, that we need to 
schedule specific times to talk, but for people there in person it's not 
a problem, which it sounds like should be the case with the PTG.
