Here is my claim: we can fly less and be more effective. I am asking simply that the LLC in consultation with the IESG test that statement by finding the right questions, collecting and analyzing data, and then bring the results
of their analysis with recommendations to the community for our consideration. I take seriously the need for hallway conversations, hackathons, ad hocs, in addition to our formal meeting time. That has to be taken into account. But it has been some 28 years since we went to three meetings per year. Let’s please do the work to understand what options we have. That’s my request. Do you disagree? Eliot [GD] One thing that needs to be considered in this are the benefits to the Internet and IETF participants that take advantage of them of the numerous side meetings and events that take place around an IETF meeting for the simple reason
that the IETF critical mass is in town. There have been interest group workshops, open source events, university workshops, whole conferences in the days before and after, etc.
[GD] We (the IETF) by our presence in a region/city help support and enable much valuable Internet technology and policy work.
