Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Based on the feedback, the IESG is going to go ahead with this change starting with IETF 100. We will also incorporate the comments received about the length of the meeting week into ongoing IESG discussions about different ways of managing the agenda time overall.

Hi all,
Based on a suggestion from Paul Hoffman, the IESG believes it would be beneficial to denote the official start of IETF meetings to be on Saturday rather than Sunday, starting with IETF 100. We believe this would be sensible given that events such as the hackathon and code sprint start on Saturday, and may make it easier for some participants to get travel approval to attend those events. This change would be reflected in the dates posted on the IETF web site and sent out in email announcements. We are not proposing any changes in terms of the scheduling of any meeting-related events, the full availability of the meeting network starting on Sunday, the opening of on-site registration, or the meeting fee.
If you have feedback about this change, please send it to ietf@xxxxxxxx, or exceptionally to iesg@xxxxxxxx, by July 5, 2017. Thanks, The IESG
