Re: 49th-IETF conf room planning

This would need to be integrated with the general registration mechanism
to have any chance of being representative. Or you can hand out yellow
badges to those who filled out the form. If the room is full, the white
badges get kicked out....

This has likely been proposed previously, but I would like to
raise the topic of mapping adequate conf rooms to WGs and BOFs.
I have now attended 3 WGs that had to turn away attendees due
to extreme lack of space, and several others that had plenty of
extra unutilized space.

Would the IETF organizers consider requesting WG/BOF attendance
plans upon registration?  Are there other suggestions for
improvement in this process?

The biggest improvement would be if people could sign up for the meetings 2
years in advance, so that we could book big enough meeting facilities.

The assignment to rooms is based on the WG/BOF chairs' estimates of
attendance. Getting better estimates would help - but this would have to be
done entirely automagically if it were to help the (small) secretariat
staff, and be filled in correctly.

Anyone volunteering to write/host the data entry pieces of this, so that we
can test it at a forthcoming IETF?
