In other words, let's make unofficial, ad hoc meetings be formal and scheduled.

Fred, like you, I'm delighted to see the activity. However just because there is interest in having formal, scheduled activities that are not qualified to be BOFs, we do not need to have IETF administration support them with extra services. Let's let these self-initiated efforts remain what they are. If they can garner attendees, that's fine. If they can't, better luck next time. Even with the excellent title you suggest, the web page will move these activities down the slippery slope of formality.

The way to make a more rational schedule for the week is to schedule less, not more.
