On the other hand, we need to ask what the goal of having an open
meeting at an IETF event reasonably should be.
Somehow, I do not think that filling most of the schedule with
presentations primarily trying to tell us that spam is a problem is
appropriate. Nor do I think that presentations that present invalid
statistics or simplistic suggestions are all that helpfuyl.
Somehow, I think that targeting technical research work IS
appropriate. Perhaps that happened in the half-hour overtime after
the scheduled portion, but of course, many of us had to be elsewhere.
So, yes, we need to make sure we do not review this as if it were a
working group meeting. However the meeting failed in plenty of other
ways.
