Aaron, AF> Perhaps we should raise the bar on what it takes to get a slot at the AF> IETF meeting. For example, try to come up with some objective criteria AF> for what deserves a 1hr slot, 2hrs, multiple, etc. Although there are some exceptions, we generally treat IETF resources as being free. Since they are in fact very expensive and often are very scarce, I think that any effort to do better resource allocation would be very helpful for IETF productivity. Certainly this should include productivity requirements for getting meeting slots. Rather than trying to create more slots (more days or more simultaneous meetings) we should be looking for ways to REDUCE the number of parallel (conflicting) meetings. d/ -- Dave Crocker <mailto:dcrocker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> Sunnyvale, CA USA <tel:+1.408.246.8253>, <fax:+1.866.358.5301> _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
