Randy,
ripe/foonog would not appreciate a meeting in schedule conflict. would ietf appreciate a foonog meeting scheduled in conflict with and at the same venue as an ietf meeting?
Agreed. But here's at least one idea on how to avoid that. Arrange an interim on a RIPE Friday afternoon, after the meetings have ended. Say, 2pm - 8pm. Long day and somewhat shorter WG time. But probably more doable for participants than a full Saturday. Other meetings may have similar scheduling opportunities. Jari
