I think it may be important to better emphasis the difference between
formal BoFs and informal promotional meetings.
While Formal BoFs are not absolutely necessary for process purposes,
they are usually a good idea to help the IAB and IESG judge interest.
Process-wise, these informal barBoFs have no meaning.
Also, while we have procedures for trying to ensure IAB members and
relevant ADs attend BoFs, our leadership is NOT "expected" or required
to attend these informal sessions. (I would almost suggest banning them
from attending, except that once in a while they attend because the
topic is interesting to them personally interested in the topic.) One
person's note mentioned that som barBoFs complained because the relevant
AD did not attend. I would almost declare an extra meeting delay in
formation for any group that made such a complaint. We place plenty of
demands on our leadership. This should not be one of them.
Yours,
Joel

Participation. As you can tell from above, I do not feel capable (or even obliged) of attending all these meetings.
I just hope everyone understand you and other busy people are indeed busy, and need a break now and then. And that non-participation does not imply non-interest or anything even remotely in that direction. It is most certainly the other way around.
If you dislike something, then I am 100% you WILL show up and say so ;-)
