The IETF mailserver will reject this mail because I have the temerity to use IPv6 without a PTR record (and sorting that out involves finding another nameserver), so feel free to quote gratuitously...

I'm also tempted to suggest that there be an extra charge for attendance on Mondays (other than for WG chairs and people presenting material), with the proceeds split between the secretariat and the people doing presentations.


Definitely against this - paying per presentation just fills me with horror. Most people have to travel over a weekend anyway, so its either the weekend before, with all the tutorials, or after, with nothing.


I honestly think that "catch up" sessions could be quite valuable in several ways. They could help newcomers to a particular WG get up to speed, they could facilitate more cross-area review, they could make the real discussions more effective by minimizing time spent explaining things to those who weren't caught up.

Now this really makes me think - what if Monday was filled with lightning talk style quick-fire presentations on various WGs and documents? I suspect more or less one track per Area or perhaps AD would work, with presentations limited to 5 or 10 minutes. There's no need to limit this to just WGs, either - key WG docs could have their own talk, as could individual documents.

The result would be that on Mondays, attendees could very easily do a catch-up and cross-area run.

I think we would really benefit from this, as it'd provide an excellent place to gain good cross-area awareness - and that ought to breed better review and integration.

Dave.
