...and even more radical:
- Move wg meeting from Fri morning to Thu evening
- Have "external reports/awards" etc Wed evening
- Have open IESG and IAB *meetings* on Friday
Yes, I am really talking about having a replacement for a (partial)
teleconf on Fri morning. 1/2 IAB, 1/2 IESG. Including time for
microphones. 9-11 and 11-13.

So here's a radical suggestion for the Plenaries, designed to make
them more
relevent to IETF participants.
Suppose we were to move the plenaries to Fri. morning
instead of Wed.
and
Thurs. night, and schedule WG sessions on Wed. and Thurs. night, to
avoid
losing time for WG technical work. Now, with no other
change, lots of
people
would probably leave Thurs. evening or Fri. morning and skip the
Plenaries.
But suppose further we were to restrict the "housekeeping"
reports to
maybe
a half hour at the beginning, and schedule the rest with technical
discussion of cross working group architectural and design
issues (like
Aaron's discussion last night) that currently have no venue in the
IETF,
outside perhaps of the directorates. This might involve asking WG
chairs of
the affected working groups to sit down and make presentations,
perhaps even
ask them to generate drafts on the issues prior to the meeting, or
perhaps
the presentations are done in real time on issues that
arose directly
in the
meeting. It could also involve IAB drafts of a technical nature.
Comments?
