Olafur,
If you recall the Paris meeting, we did try a different mixture
of session lengths, and it caused quite some scheduling problems.
I'd have to dig out some old email for the details, but it
was definitely a problem. So after Paris, we stuck to the late
dinner schedule, but went back to a more traditional mixture of
session lenghths.
I certainly wouldn't recommend mixing two experimental changes,
after that experience.
