Re: Meeting "lounges" at IETF meetings

[Mary Barnes <mary.ietf.barnes@xxxxxxxxx>]

The issue that I experienced (and why I'm fussing)  is that if you were attending many sessions in the Regency rooms (and moving rooms between sessions), it was extremely difficult to weave your way through the corridor as many people were having their discussion directly in the middle of the corridor.  There just was not room in that corridor for side conversations.  The situation was made worse as that corridor was where they served the refreshments.   And trying to ask people politely to move generally had no impact in my experience as people were too engaged in their conversations.

I agree with randy. I've never had an issue finding a place to huddle/meet when necessary at an ietf meeting venue. between the hallways, bar, etc I'm not sure what the fuss is all about.
