Carsten-
You've given an example for something that I've been wanting to
articulate. WG chairs have *lot* of influence over how productive a
meeting is. It takes thought and preparation to decide what the best
use of the wg time should be. I've seen a tendency for wgchairs to
make agendas = list of drafts in development. A better practice would
be to start the hard questions that need to be discussed (to take
advantage of the face time) and back into background reading from
there.
I think the emphasis on tourists, surfing, and powerpoint is a red
herring.
