RE: A suggestion for future Technical Plenaries

I guess both IAB & the speakers need a channel for feedback.

That said, one might argue that it /should/ be required that the IAB explicitly engage in a pre-presentation discussion with the speaker about this issue.  (I'm making the wild assumption that the IAB folk will, in fact, be facile with such an exercise...)

 

I think it might be helpful to engage a couple of random IETF participants prior to plenary to see if the IAB overlooked anything.  This is not the first time the IAB vetted a presentation that was ultimately not well received by the audience.

By the way, one of the other places folks should be encouraged to ask about or offer suggestions for work in the IETF is from the floor, after the presentation.

It will be quite a bit more productive than attacking the speaker...

 

Since that can be a charged discussion, I think it's unfortunate that the place to bring it up is while said speaker is still in the room.
