Re: Proposed Experiment: More Meeting Time on Friday for IETF 73
I will take a swag...
On the one hand, having had (and, believe it or not, this time by
request) work group meetings on Friday morning, the Friday slot is an
excellent filter to ensure that only the die-hard participants and
those people paying their own way who need a Saturday Night Stay(tm)
attend.
On the other hand, this guarantees more than a week away from home.
If you have no family or life or want to stay away from said family or
life, this would be a good thing. However, for the rest of us, this
is not an attractive option.
Since Pandora's Box is now formally open, how about this: since the
Internet Area has a lion's share of slots, and RAI draws huge crowds,
what if we went summer / winter olympics and (gasp!) add a fourth
annual meeting, but not have all areas meet at all meetings.
Yes, for me that just means four meetings to go to instead of three.
However, one would hope we could get the work done Monday - Friday,
instead of Saturday - Saturday, which we really are talking about
here. Moreover, there really are people that will never venture
outside their area, no matter how much we tell them it is important
for them, and the IETF as a whole, to do it.From ietf-bounces at ietf.org Wed Jul 23 08:03:06 2008

meeting time as they need to progress their work. As an experiment,
we are considering adding two Friday afternoon one-hour meeting slots.
The proposed Friday schedule would be:
0900-1130 Morning Session I
1130-1300 Break
1300-1400 Afternoon Session I
1415-1515 Afternoon Session II
