Michael,
At least my read of the suggestion is a bit of an expansion of what we do with WG Adoption and
WG Last Call - where the mailing list "focuses" on a particular draft or topic for a week or two.
MPLS has had some success with this tactic in the past. It is the alternative that I encouraged
and suggested to the RTG WG Chairs - but got many fewer takers on it. I'd love to see more
WGs experiment with this because it does resolve the time-zone & day-job meeting conflicts issues.
Regards,
Alia

Can you explain "time boxes" here?

This sounds a bit like a design team meeting to me.
