Adam, I've noticed that lots of people (myself often included) are often sufficiently wasted by Friday morning to be largely disfunctional (certainly "less coherent than normal"). I'm prepared to believe that pushing back lunch would make it even worse for some people, but it may be that the best solution to that problem is a better breakfast or snacks that can be brought into the meeting rooms (or eaten during a _very_ short break as distinct from 90 minutes of lunch break). With at least some facilities, getting finished earlier would also reduce costs; I assume I'm not the only one who would like to see that go straight to the registration fees. So I think this is a good idea if it is feasible... even though my preference would be to go back to ending at noon (or 11:30 or earlier) on Friday by getting more efficient about how we use time earlier in the week and more selective about who and what gets time at all. best, john _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
