Since we want to make sure where the ball is placed anyway, I think it is also efficient to communicate to them the length of the timeout. I just do this in the name of communication and efficiency.

I do this also, I'm just saying I hadn' thought about it in terms of a set MO. I don't keep asking, I don't recall asking more than twice, to be honest, and usually they signal when they ask.
As for my partners, I let them know as soon as I know, but have to admit I've regularly done it after telling the table. I like your way better and will use it tomorrow.
