Exactly.
This is a community. It extends beyond the boundaries of the IETF and
the IETF is not the "center' of that community.
The model of passively waiting for a random person to notify event
planners of conflicts should be a fallback mechanism, not a primary
means of coordination among principal organizations within the community.
There is plenty of history with IETF-related scheduling conflicts to
make it possible to list the other organizations with which coordination
should be proactive.
