Re: improving WG operation

 Dave, do you have any thoughts about how we can change the IETF culture
 from presentation to interaction (with or without slides). This is
 something that the IESG has been talking about, among others, but I'm not
 sure that we've come up with any really concrete ways to provoke/encourage
 this change.


Margaret, in general I think the issue is stricter meeting planning and
management, where the goals and process are more explicit.  Of course, good
wgs already do that.

Off the top of my head:

1. Require that the meeting have a web-posted agenda -- and really enforce the
requirement. So, this makes sure others have a chance to evaluate what is
going to take place.  No agenda a week in advance; no meeting.

2. Require that the deliverables of the meeting be pre-stated and prioritized.

3. Have the agenda include statements about how the deliverables will be met.
I guess this is something on the order of stating what the meeting process
will be.  Hence, interaction with the participants is a component of that
process.
