I think that WGs need to have virtual interims partway between meetings in

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.
This is an intriguing proposal. As a wg chair, I can see the utility of having a virtual interim to present a new draft or topic for the wg before making a decision on whether to put it on the agenda. If you did it early enough, it might inform wg conflicts and event IETF attendance. A side benefit is that interim agendas are broadly announced and may reach folks who are not otherwise tracking the wg. I think I’ll try this in the TAPS wg the next time a new topic comes up.
