Regarding the 90 days, I meant "more than around 90 days" (counted
before
the *start* of the meeting). I was reserving my flight immediately
after the
previous IETF, and then the price started increasing a few weeks
ago, and
had no other choice than booking it then. Now my return is on
Friday (27th),
so I will be able to attend to about 50% of this meeting, unless I
manage to
convince the airline to change the date w/o throwing away the full
ticket.
One good thing we have now in IETF is the up-front planning for
meetings in
terms of places and locations. If we really want to take advantage
of that,
the meetings that need an extra day (or part of it, as in this case
the
Friday afternoon), need to be planned at least more than 90 days in
advance,
I will even say that the previous IETF meeting should be a hard
deadline for
fixing that. I don't think that's an impossible, on the other way
around,
just a matter of very feasible planning.
We have the example of the Int-Area interim meeting, expected for
May. It
was promised in the meeting in Prague to be decided maximum 3-4
days after
