You can just plan one at anytime but in the early morning. This would help and will come before the tiring part is taking place.

I'd support a date change for IETF 95 but it should be the week of the

14th to take into account Palm Sunday and Good Friday.  As to Ramadan, I

too would like to understand if there is a need to take this holiday

into account, and what would be the practical way to do that?

My Moslem coworkers, some more observant, some less so, all come to work on Ramadan. Ramadan lasts a whole month (well, a whole lunar cycle), and involves fasting from sunrise to sunset. This is relatively OK when Ramadan falls in winter, but more painful when it falls in summer.

This year Ramadan started yesterday, and ends on August 19. Moving the meeting one week in either direction would not have helped.
