Re: improving WG operation

Margaret, Dave, et al-

Based on the discussion started in the IESG, one thing we are going to try
to do in Paris is have a couple of smaller rooms with a different chair
setup--herringbone instead of the theater style, a couple more radio
microphones, and appropriate-size (smaller than huge) projector screens.

I'm working with the secretariat on this.

I think that, in fact, the issue is not powerpoint-vs-no-powerpoint.  I think
it is exactly and only the concern you raise:  meetings need to be for working
group interaction.  If that is the clear goal and if the meeting is run with
that goal enforced, then none of the trappings matter.

I completely agree with this.  And, I've been to plenty of 
non-interactive lectures that didn't involve any slides.

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
