Add an extra 15 mins for lunch, it makes it so less 'rushed'.

That would be a very good idea.

Personally, I don't see much need for lengthening the lunch;

I can see how having more time for lunch would be beneficial, but I'm not sure if a mere additional 15 minutes will do the trick, and going out during the middle of the day for two hours or more with our current level of scheduling difficulties seems severely suboptimal to me.

having the break at 1.5 hrs makes the lunch (hopefully) more focused at the essentials (gather the company quickly; find food _close_ by; order; talk; eat; get back).

In Holland we're not used to eating a full meal for lunch. It occurs to me that we could save a lot of time by having some kind of light lunch available at the meeting rather than rush out, order and eat quickly and rush back.

Opinions from those with a different culinary culture...?

I have yet to experience the benefits of the changed last slot/dinner order (nothing too interesting in the last slot from my point of view, so I went out to discover Paris) but I think it makes a lot of sense. The argument that it makes dinner time inconvenient isn't very relevant as most participants are outside their home timezone in the first place.

But regardless of that, IMHO the breaks could be reduced to 15 mins or so. That would allow us at least 2-3 additional 1hr slots, which would probably be very useful due to numerous scheduling conflicts at least I've experienced.

Ah, you mean per meeting rather than per day.  :-)

I'd have thought 30 minutes would be too long to, but it turns out this allows sessions to run late 10 minutes without trouble, which is much better than people rushing out so they don't miss the cookies the second the break starts.
