Re: Open IAB meeting during IETF 57 working sessions

[Leslie Daigle <leslie@thinkingcat.com>]

I think we need to take the step back and choose whether we're

a/ holding a not-high-key working meeting during the regular
  meeting agenda, in which case we have to recognize we 
  are going to collide with relevant things; we (like every
  WG/BoF) need to find the least-bad slot and recognize that
  we are going to miss people in the community (including
  IAB folk).

b/ clearing the schedule to ensure that anyone who wants to
  come, can come -- currently implementable (only) by carving 
  off part of the plenary timeslot. 
Personally, I would prefer that we manage to do this as "a/"; 
I think it is important to do this work as part of the 
flow of IETF work, and I think it is important that not
everything the IAB does is held apart as if it is special 
and rarefied.  
I believe we can do that if we recognize that the meeting
is one opportunity to collect data, and that we need to 
reproduce that data in a way that will be intelligible
to people not able to attend the meeting (duh; we should
do that anyway) as well as providing a means for further
input after the meeting.  Like other IETF activities (WGs
and BoFs).

If that seems reasonable, then which is the least bad slot,
given that absolutely none of them are good?  
Leslie.
