This may or may not be the case, but:
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.
...it doesn't address the problem of overlapping sessions. Sessions are going to overlap. This is only a problem when people want to attend more than one during any particular slot. The fact that people want to attend a session makes it highly unlikely that such a session is so unproductive that scrapping it alltoghether would be better. (I don't believe IETFers are so stupid they keep showing up for unproductive sessions.)
