This is exactly the point of the silent reading time. Stop lying to yourself and others by saying you'll read ahead. You won't. No one will. Or worse, everyone but one person will and he'll have "skimmed it" and then ask questions that are on page 2, wasting everyone's time.

If you want to bring this to wherever you work, I encourage it. All you need to do is lead the meeting yourself with a strong, assertive voice. Tell them this is what we're doing. When someone inevitably complains just ask them to please wait to ask questions until everyone is done.
