Was that reported so far? If not, we may need to report that even if it was a long time ago, because we need to help make information trackable within IETF, and to make better processes.
It was a very long time ago. The language in RFC2418 (an IETF
Consensus document) regarding announcement and reporting etc. of
interim meetings was a direct result of that long-ago experience:
Interim meetings are subject to the same rules for advance notification, reporting, open participation, and process, which apply to other working group meetings.
