Let me give you a for instance -
In London, I needed to meet with the CTO of a company a good 45 minutes
by tube and walking from the meeting location, and I had sessions most
of that day that I either needed to be or wanted to be in. (Basically,
my travel time ~equalled the session II block time). I made a guess
based on previous meetings as to when the 1st afternoon session would
finish and when the third session would start. I guessed wrong by a
cumulative 1/2 hour. I'd booked the meeting a good month or so in
advance due to the CTO's ridiculous travel schedule and ended up having
to skip (a small) part of the third afternoon session as he wasn't able
to reschedule.
In any event, it turns out some of what I was looking for already exists
- there's just no link to it from the main page:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/102/agenda.
This is a "nice to have" rather than "my life will end without it" but
I've needed this information at least twice over the last few meetings
earlier than even the first agenda publication for various reasons.
Later, Mike
