On the Telechat today, the IESG made a decision to proceed with this experiment. The IETF Secretariat has been directed to update the web site to indicate that the IETF meeting will continue until 3:15 PM on Friday. After each meeting the IAD conducts a survey. The IAD has been asked to include questions on the survey to help determine whether the success or failure of the experiment. In addition, the ADs for the meetings held after lunch will be making an assessment regarding the "burn out" of the participants. Thanks for all of the feedback during this discussion.
