FYI, in the past when participating in a 1000+ person photography group I held multiple 3-day-weekend hangouts, where we kept a live video chat open and people came and went over the three days. It worked amazingly well; a lot of people met new friends, had great technical and personal discussions, and occasionally paper notes were posted in front of cameras saying "I'm the last one here during the night, but am leaving the camera on to ensure this stays up until tomorrow". At the time, using the tool I selected, there was a 10 person limit to the chat (common), and some people hated that because they couldn't get in. My solution to this was multiple rooms, where if you failed to get into one you just overflowed to the next. In the end: I support this and believe it could certainly work for a virtual IETF both for morning and cookie-break periods and potentially even evening breaks as well. -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI
