Interesting proposal. It could be as proposed with 3 sessions or with 2 sessions and 1/2 hour break between Session I and II depending on the needs (both would still give 4h30 of meeting): 08:30-11:00 Session I 11:30-13:30 Session II Thanks, -dimitri. > -----Original Message----- > From: ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx [mailto:ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx] On > Behalf Of Hadriel Kaplan > Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2011 5:40 PM > To: IETF-Discussion list > Subject: A modest proposal for Friday meeting schedule > > Howdy, > First I'd like to thank the organizers for IETF-81 for > another well-run meeting.
