Hi Adrian, The IESG considers unofficial side meetings registered on the wiki to be IETF activities, and as such the note well and the policies it references apply to these meetings. I have updated the wiki [1] to make this clear. Note that all IETF meeting attendees also accept the note well when they register for the IETF meeting. The note well itself explains that "exceptions may apply” [2]. Other kinds of meetings held under the IETF Meeting Rooms Policy [3] may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Updating the meeting rooms policy and sharing it for community comment is on the to-do list of the IETF LLC, and clarifying this point seems like it could be one useful update. Cheers, Alissa Cooper for the IESG [1] https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/105sidemeetings [2] https://www.ietf.org/about/note-well/ [3] https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/meeting-rooms-policy/ > On Jul 20, 2019, at 3:18 PM, Adrian Farrel <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, > > Normally [1] when we have a "bar BoF" (also known as a "side meeting") we do > not apply the terms of the "Note Well" [2].
