I agree that interim WG meetings would be useful, but here is a
further proposal:
There are quite a few really good ideas for improvements to IETF productivity.
The problem with taking a particular suggestion and then adding others to it
will be that nothing gets considered in detail and nothing gets done.
The original suggestion was quite specific:
Take the kinds of funds spent by meeting hosts and, instead, have them
become meeting sponsors, with meeting venue logistics handled by the IETF
itself, separately. In return for meeting sponsorship, give the sponsor various
marketing opportunities as the meeting, similar to what hosts currently enjoy.
In other words, I am suggesting a single, conceptually small change to the
current model. Its purpose is to permit vastly better meeting planning than we
currently can achieve, due to the delays inherent in having meeting hosts.
