It was meant to refer to the Friday morning controversy-
should we have more parallel sessions and end Thursday night,
or fewer parallel sessions and end Friday night,or do what we do
now. We didn't identify the ambiguity until too late.
I thought the primary purpose of the survey was to find out whether
people preferred the later schedule of hours during the day, and no
evening sessions, as used in Paris, rather than to ask again about
Friday. The question about hours was raised in the discussion on this
list, and that prompted to say a survey would be taken.
