I would be okay replacing most of the plenary along these
lines. And I really like the idea of moving the ANRP
prize talks into the evening as a plenary activity. There are
four aspects I would not want to see lost:
- The IETF chair, and as necessary, other leaders such as the
IED or NOMCOM chair, may have urgent or important business that
needs raising with the community;
- We should honor those who have served the community. We need
to do more of this.
- We should honor our host;
- The community needs a window to provide feedback and to put
faces to names of people who hold leadership roles. This is
especially important when one considers that people have flown
thousands of kms/miles to attend these functions.
But I think all of the above can continue and we could still save
a lot of time. Just call "ALLDISPATCH" the plenary ;-)

replace the IETF plenary with this, and you'd have zero impact on the agenda time. Not that I dislike the people who speak in plenary, but if the formalism is "these are statutory reports which need to be made to the community" we can do that in a brown bag lunch. I stress, I bear no animosity to any of the people obligated to make statutory reports. And I think statutory reports should be made. -G _______________________________________________ 121attendees mailing list -- 121attendees@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 121attendees-leave@xxxxxxxx
