We have in my opinion had a consistently low operator turnout. I wonder
if it would be possible for us to align our conference dates in such a
way as to overlap with NANOG, RIPE, USENIX, LISA, and other appropriate
conferences so that we can get some crossover?

Please, oh please, NO! Putting two full meetings into one week simultaneously
is an excellent way
to either miss one or spoil both.
Here are some ideas, I'm sure that none of these are really new.
- for pay tutorials at NANOG, RIPE, APRICOT, etc. about the latest from the
IETF. Could raise some
money, but is not trivial.
- Brian could institute the "President's Lecture", where an invited speaker is
given serious time
(i.e. an hour) to make a serious point or a serious review of some issue.
(This could be
operational, say for someone from NANOG, or technical, or even political, say
with someone from the
ITU or the 3GPP or ...)
- for pay tutorials during the IETF, intended to educate outsiders and get them
to come to the rest
of the meeting. I notice that lawyers do that a lot, mixing CLE sessions with
other content. The
lawyers come (and pay) for the CLE, stay for the rest. Again, could raise some
money, but is not
trivial.

Marshall
