Were side meetings in the mornings, evenings, or during slots without important sessions not working? Are there groups that really are too busy to skip less important sessions in favor of collaborative side work? (E.g., there are WGs I *like* to attend, but when it conflicts with some work I *need* to do, I know where I'm going to be. These 3 weeks per year are precious, and with every session being recorded, anything I'm passively consuming gets watched later.) It's not like the entire IETF needs to collaborate in the same place at the same time, so I'm skeptical of the need for slots dedicated to unstructured work.
The problem is that everyone has _different_ conflicts. Coming up with a time when everybody is available for any value of “everybody” greater than about three is quite difficult. So no, not the entire IETF, but that’s an extreme example of the actual problem.
