In none of the venues where I've attended meetings has 90 minutes been insufficient. In most, 30-45 minutes would have been plenty; the rest is just generous "recharge" time to catch up on email and carry on face-to-face discussions. Having the lunch break drag on into mid-afternoon makes it seem longer, I guess. I certainly won't argue with your math! ... > I forgot to mention that some brain fuel (coffee, possibly food) *definitely* food, and without stringent flow controls on the caffeine. > could be nice in the 2nd afternoon break.

For me the need for food was more sorely felt at the second afternoon break than the first, so I'd be happier if it was the afternoon's second break that had the food, and the first one just had caffeine. But this is just one data point. Randy _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
