Thanks for starting the thread, Andy. And thanks all for the feedback! Keep it coming. The IESG will be sending a note around in a few days about start/end days and times for IETF 104 and will be following up with more detailed agenda plans a bit later after we have a chance to collect more feedback. People are also welcome to send feedback to iesg@xxxxxxxx as you prefer. Alissa > On Nov 10, 2018, at 4:14 PM, Andrew G.
