How long may a person speak?

When recognized by the President of the organization, how many minutes may a person speak? 

 

When the person has the floor and she has just begun her speech (not even 15 seconds into her speech), may the President interrupt her and interject her own opinion?

"In a nonlegislative body or organization that has no special rule relating to the length of speeches (2), a member, having obtained the floor while a debatable motion is immediately pending, can speak no longer than ten minutes unless he obtains the consent of the assembly"  RONR (11th ed.), p. 387
