Hi Mike,
We'd put the IAB/RSE discussion
at the end so it could have the balance of time; we weren't aware of the
hard stop from the hotel until this morning. As you just heard from Alissa, we're talking about what adjustments we can make at this stage. We're already working to keep the
administrative presentations short, to recover as much time as
possible. We may be able to do more, and Alissa will announce it when a plan comes together.
On your point about IAB
responses, our intent for the RSE discussion is to listen and to ask
questions as much as possible. We'll obviously answer any questions, but we will try to keep that short so that we can focus on listening to the community about how to make this better. Given that the hard stop is over an hour
after the scheduled end of the plenary, I'm hopeful that the
combination will give us the time we need to get a good start on the discussion on
this. As I said to John, we also believe that this conversation will
need to continue past the plenary to include the audiences that he
pointed out are not with us in Montreal.
As the
IAB is the group accountable to the community, we will be on the stage,
including Heather and the IAB members of the RSOC. The rest of the
RSOC will be attending the plenary, and may be able to give
clarifications from the floor for points where the timeline or facts need elucidation.
regards,
Ted

Hi Alissa -
Given the hard stop time for the plenary, the importance of the RSE discussion and (AFAICT) the lack of other similar topics for the IESG, I propose that we move the IAB open mic session to the beginning of the open mic period, and seat the LLC and RSOC with the IAB for that session. If we have time left over and topics, we can have the IESG take the stage at that time - otherwise those topics can be addressed to the mailing list.
I would prefer to do this rather than be heavy handed in restricting the time of each speaker/questioner. I'd also like to ask that as a general matter of course the IAB try to limit the number of IAB responders to a given question to the smallest number necessary in the interests of getting as much community input as possible.
Thanks - Mike

All,
The hotel is informed the secretariat that tonight’s administrative plenary must end by 21:00 in order for their staff to begin setting up the room for tomorrow morning’s WG sessions. The chair has asked plenary presentations be kept to a minimum so we can maximize time for open mic.
Apologies for the late notice.
Thank you.
