I think that WGs need to have virtual interims partway between meetings in which to hold presentation-style events where the initial problem statement is provided. This accomodates the "need" to present, while not wasting super-expensive meeting time. This should be at least two weeks prior to draft cut-off date, such that revisions and suggestions could go into a draft, and there could be some list traffic about the document. 6tisch has had regular virtual interims and often new work would come up there. 6tisch and ROLL often need really good pictures to explain things, and that's what the slides are really good for. Animated ones even better. (ps: speaking as someone who has attended more than 50 meetings, more than 2/3 of them at my own consulting companies' expense, let me add: if attending in person or is making or breaking your work, then you probably aren't resourced well enough to do the work. Internet-Drafts don't progress because you attended a meeting or not, they progress because you spend dozens of days worth of time reading/writing emails, and writing code. And, our remote attendance technology *is* rather good) -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
