Fair enough. But people do need to respect the shortage of time. How about

How about:
IETF participants read the relevant Internet-Drafts, RFCs, and
email archives beforehand, in order to familiarize themselves
with the technology under discussion. Working Group sessions
run on a very limited time schedule, and sometimes participants
have to limit their questions. The work of the group will
continue on the mailing list, and questions can be asked and
answered on the mailing list. It can be a challenge when
attending a new working group without knowing the history of
longstanding Working Group debates. Information about a working
group including its charter and milestones is available on the
IETF Tools web site [TOOLS] or from the working group chair.
