We would like to create such opportunity on Thursday but only if interest
is demonstrated.

If you have a question for the IAB, please sent it to iab(_at_)iab(_dot_)org, by 2pm
Thursday 31st.

I am afraid that this procedure itself is a reason for questions.

I don't see why sending a question to the IAB in advance is necessary
to determine whether there is interest in the community to have a
discussion with the IAB.


In fact we talked about this this morning and it occurred to us that for accountability it is, at minimum, necessary that everybody knows who the members are, regardless wether or not there are questions. Being on stage is therefore a good thing.

Personally, I think there is benefit to questions being mailed in advance. It serves two purposes: It helps with phrasing the question concisely and it helps the IAB members to provide a response that has been given more than a few seconds thought.
